Persimmon contains many beneficial trace elements, reported gastroenterologist E. Belousov.
According to the specialist, this fruit contains vitamins A, C, and B group, as well as calcium, magnesium, and dietary fiber, which help normalize cholesterol levels and improve gastrointestinal function.
In addition, persimmon is rich in potassium, making it beneficial for the heart and blood vessels. It also contains many antioxidants—substances with anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antitumor effects.
The daily norm for an adult is 1–2 fruits. The doctor recommended consuming persimmon with nuts or cottage cheese, as well as using it as a dessert.
