Apricots are one of the most typical fruits of summer: delicious and colorful, they also bring a tan to the skin.<\/p>\n
With their summer color, sweet and delicious flesh and soft skin, apricots are so good but we must not forget their many nutritional values.<\/p>\n
They are rich in vitamins and many useful substances, have few calories and, thanks to their good introduction of beta-carotene, promote tanning and skin beauty. They are also very suitable for those who want to keep the lines, considering that 100 grams of fruit contains only 28 calories, reports rtk.<\/p>\n
Nutritional values \u200b\u200b\u2013 Apricots, whose botanical name is Prunus armeniaca, belong to the Rosaceae family, just like apples and almonds. They are particularly rich in pectin, a soluble fiber that contributes to bowel regularity.<\/p>\n
They are one of the absolute richest fruits in potassium, so much so that a serving of just three fruits provides 10% of the daily requirement of this mineral. Potassium is an antagonist of sodium and therefore has a high draining power: it is able to eliminate excess fluids that stagnate in the tissues of our body, preventing retention and cellulite. Apricots are also a good source of vitamins, especially C, B1, B2, B3; in addition to potassium, they contain magnesium, calcium, zinc, iron and folic acid. Beta-carotene, which they are very rich in, is transformed into vitamin A, so 100 grams of fruit provide about half of the daily requirement of this vitamin. They are also a good source of folic acid, essential for the nervous system.<\/p>\n
Betacarotene \u2013 It is responsible for the orange color of the fruit and has a thousand nutritional values. In addition to favoring the rays, this substance is able to neutralize the action of certain enzymes that destroy collagen, the protein that helps maintain skin elasticity. Collagen also plays an important role in muscle tone and blood and lymphatic vessels: apricots therefore contribute to the elasticity and beauty of the skin, improve circulation and prevent varicose veins.<\/p>\n
Dried or fresh \u2013 In addition to fresh fruit, which are at their best in summer, you can also try dried apricots. Also in this case it is an excellent choice: they are in fact a real mine of potassium and iron, with an even greater contribution than fresh fruit. They can be consumed as a snack, even with slimming properties, provided that you consume a dose of two or three pieces: if possible, it is better to buy an organic product, to prevent it from containing sulfur dioxide, sometimes used as a preservative.<\/p>\n
For lines \u2013 Given that they are limited in calories, apricots are suitable for low-calorie and detoxification regimes. They can be eaten at the end of a meal, in a fruit salad or even as a breakfast or as a snack that breaks the appetite. For their sweet taste and cheerful color, they are loved by children and are a great snack, also to be consumed at the sea or on outdoor picnics. Eating 3-4 ripe fruits a day is a great way to keep hunger pangs and sweet foods at bay.<\/p>\n
To “burn” – Finally a curiosity. To “burn” the energy supply provided by 100 grams of apricots, according to the website ‘MyPersonalTrainer’ it takes only 9 minutes of leisurely walking, or 4 minutes of fast walking (6.4 km per hour), or 1 minute of travel, or 3 minutes of cycling, football and only 2 free swimming.<\/p>\n
