Health -- Plum Choice

Courtesy of realage.com: You might know dried plums (or prunes) best for their ability to get your bowels moving. But they can help your heart and arteries work better, too. They're chock-full of antioxidants (phenols) that have a reputation for stopping bad things from happening in your arteries -- like plaque ruptures that could lead to a heart attack or stroke.

A handful will do, as dried fruits are higher in sugar and calories than their fresh counterparts.
