Jam has always been considered one of the favorite homemade winter treats. But, as you know, any jam is prepared on the basis of fruits or berries with the addition of a large amount of sugar, so the calorie content of jam is usually high.

The benefits of various types of jam and its harm

The high calorie content of jam is not a reason to refuse it altogether, because jam is not only a delicious and sweet dessert that is ideal for drinking tea and making pies, it is considered a real home remedy. If it is cooked correctly, preserving as much as possible all the useful substances of fresh fruits, then such jam will bring you more benefits than calories.

Almost all types of jam contain a lot of vitamin C in their composition, which makes them the best remedy in the fight against colds that strengthen the immune system. In order not to destroy vitamins during heat treatment, it is recommended to cook jam in several stages, i.e. boil for 5-7 minutes, then let it stand for several hours.

Raspberry jam is a champion in the medicinal field, because it is extremely effective for colds, bronchitis, tonsillitis, flu and fever. For medicinal purposes, you should drink several cups of hot raspberry tea (boiling water with raspberry jam), after which you need to cover yourself with a warm blanket and sweat well. And raspberry jam contains ellagic acid, which prevents the appearance and reproduction of cancer cells. Pear jam is useful for various kidney diseases, it is recommended for atherosclerosis, as well as to improve blood composition.

The considerable calorie content of jam still allows you to use it in small quantities for disorders of the functioning of the liver, pancreas and gallbladder. Plum jam reduces the acidity of gastric juice, swelling, increases intestinal motility. Apricot jam also effectively fights edema, but it is also especially useful for nervous disorders and stress. But strawberry jam is prescribed for anemia, atherosclerosis and hypertension.

Due to the high calorie content of jam, it is contraindicated for those who suffer from diabetes and obesity. With caution, it should be used for exacerbations of diseases of the liver, kidneys, stomach, pancreas and biliary tract, after consulting with your doctor. In any case, do not abuse the jam, even if you are absolutely healthy, and also do not give this sweet treat to children under 5 years old.

I apologize in advance for such a stupid question - I didn’t understand all the intricacies of scoring on a hormonal diet. points are considered as in the Kremlin diet - i.e. 1 point per 100g of product? Or is it points for the whole serving? And one more thing: breakfast 4 points - is it only one product or a multi-component one? Thank you all in advance)))

Recently, I became interested in Mirimanova's diet "Minus 60", in general, everything is not bad, and goodies in the morning and practically separate meals for lunch and dinner. Not a starvation diet in general, not 3 cabbage leaves a day. But here is one thing that still confuses me, do not eat after 18. How possible is it, for example, I have dinner at 17, because I have training at 18, and then drink empty tea or some water?

Maybe at 20.00 something light to eat

I spent a week on a drinking diet, the result was minus 2.5 kg. Expected more, but happy with it. I do not want to stop, but drinking as a long-term option is also not an option))). I considered a 90-day system of separate nutrition, in which days alternate by type of food - protein, carbohydrate, starch, vitamin. I want to combine these two diets: alternate days from separate meals with drinking. I think such a regime is more diverse and humane in terms of health and the result will be quick

We are going to Turkey with the whole family, we are satisfied to disgrace. But I'm afraid none of us will think about restrictions there. As we get to the goodies, we will not come off the table. How to eat right on vacation, so that later it would not be painfully scary and insulting? What excesses are better not to look at in a restaurant and on the beaches?

the diet "6 petals" is ideal for me, I endure it easily, I have already practiced it 2 times. Everything is fine, except for the cottage cheese day - I hate cottage cheese. I am planning another course from Monday, I ask in advance - how can I replace cottage cheese? And is it even possible to change? And does the replacement somehow affect the result? Thanks in advance for all the tips :)

Girls, we need your support, advice and experience. Already the 11th day of the Dukan diet and there is no result !!! I follow all the rules strictly, but there is not even a plumb line 100g !!! What am I doing wrong? What could be the reason for the lack of results? I would be very grateful to everyone for their advice and opinions.

The question is in the title. Who sat on a rigid protein diet with no carbohydrates, share your experience. According to reviews, she has excellent results in weight loss, but is the absence of carbohydrates safe for health? Have you had any negative effects?

Good afternoon. I decided to try the Protasov diet - such good reviews about it. Need some advice from practitioners. Wool Internet in search of details and subtleties. I didn’t quite understand about dairy products - there are a lot of contradictions: someone says kefir is impossible, someone says only 3.2%, somewhere they write milk with only 5% fat content, is it possible to have milk? .. How is it right?

With the advent of the summer season, everyone, without exception, begins to pamper himself with fresh fruits.

Possible harm

Plum delicacy, which has many positive properties, can become a real "pest" if contraindications are not taken into account. Therefore, before enjoying a fragrant dish, be sure to make sure that the product is allowed for you. Physicians distinguish six contraindications.

1. Diabetes. Plum jam has a high glycemic index. Therefore, its use for diabetics is highly undesirable. After all, such a product can provoke a sharp increase in sugar in the body.
2. Gastrointestinal disorder. People prone to diarrhea should not experience the "hurricane" product in the form of plum jam. The combination of sucrose and pectin can cause serious indigestion.
3. Acute pancreatitis. Plum jam is contraindicated only during an exacerbation of the disease. The reason lies in the high content of glucose, the processing of which requires insulin produced by the pancreas. And during inflammation of the gland (or in the language of doctors - exacerbation of pancreatitis), it is strictly forbidden to load it.
4. Gout. Plum jam is able to remove fluid from the body. For people suffering from gout, this is undesirable, since it can provoke a deterioration in the condition, cause an exacerbation of the disease.
5. Rheumatism. This is another pathology in which the removal of fluid from the body can lead to an exacerbation.
6. Obesity. People who are overweight should not eat foods rich in simple carbohydrates. Namely, such dishes include plum jam. For reference: the calorie content of jam is 288 kcal per 100 g.

Expectant mothers or nursing women pay special attention to their diet. Plum jam is not considered a forbidden dessert. If you do not abuse it, you can solve many problems that await a pregnant woman, such as swelling, constipation.

It is no less useful for breastfeeding, as it can prevent problems with stools and reduce colic in children. However, this dish sweetens milk, so it can become a source of rash, hives or diathesis in a child.

Fruit selection secrets and culinary tricks

Making plum jam is easy. And if you take into account a few simple recommendations, your preparation will become a real delicacy that can gather the whole family at the table.

Suitable varieties

For making jam, as reviews show, you can use almost all varieties of plums. But it is important to consider that some of them have astringency or sourness. Preference is given to those varieties in which the stone is easily separated.

Table - Common types of plums and their features

Type name	Characteristic
Greengage	- The fruit is sweet, slightly friable, not intended for storage; - the pulp is dense; - the bone is easily separated
egg	- The fruit is yellow, blue or red (color depends on the variety); - plum is large, juicy, easily divided into halves
Hungarian	- The pulp is dense, sugary; - the skin is very hard; - the fruit is red or dark purple with a characteristic bloom, can be kept fresh for a long time
thorn plum	- The fruit is dark blue in color, small in size; - pulp is tart
Mirabella	- The fruit is small, easily divided into shares; - color is dark, almost black; - the pulp is juicy, very tender, not able to be stored
Damascene	- The fruit is white, yellow, black, purple; - the size is small; - low-juicy pulp

The technology for making jam must be chosen depending on the type of plums. For example, it is not advisable to combine tart thorns with lemon. And it’s simply not possible to cook a quick “Five Minute” jam from hard Hungarians. Professionals recommend following three rules.

1. Pre-blanching. This method is used for dense plums (for example, Hungarian) or for immature ones. To give softness and ensure maximum impregnation with syrup, it is necessary to scald the fruit. Blanch them at a temperature of 80ºС for approximately three to five minutes.
2. Amount of sugar. Again, start from the taste of plums. For sweet and tender fruits, completely devoid of sourness, 300-400 g of sugar per 1 kg is enough. In the classic version, the proportions are 1: 1. And if you got unripe plums or excessively tart, the amount of sugar can be increased to 1.5 kg.
3. Jam readiness. To make sure that the dish is ready, you can resort to the following method. Scoop a little jam with a spoon, drip onto a flat surface. If the syrup spreads, it is necessary to continue the heat treatment. A drop that has taken the form of an even hemisphere signals the readiness of the jam.
