Apricots are small stone fruit or drupes—thin-skinned fruits with a stone in the center. That holds a seed—popularly consumed fresh or dried. Their petite size makes them great for snacking menu, while the dried version is great for throwing in a trail mix for a fiber boost on the go.
Besides fiber, their vitamin and antioxidant profile promotes various facets of health. Here are the benefits of apricots, their nutrition facts, risks, and tips for making them a regular part of your diet. สมัครสมาชิก UFABET
Contain Fiber For Healthy Digestion.
One of apricots’ key nutrients is fiber; each cup of fresh apricot has 3.1 grams (g) which is almost 11% of the daily value (DV). The fiber content is split pretty evenly between soluble and insoluble fiber. Which are both important for digestive and overall health.
Soluble fiber helps soften the stool so it can move more easily through the digestive tract. While insoluble fiber adds bulk to the stool to keep things moving and prevent constipation.
As a bonus, fiber also helps reduce cholesterol levels, manage blood sugars, and promote satiety.
Rich In Vitamin C For Immune And Skin Health
Each cup of apricots has about 15 g of vitamin C—17% of the DV. Vitamin C is an important nutrient for various facets of health, especially immune and skin health.
Plus, it helps with collagen synthesis, an important component of connective tissue. Since the skin is also part of our immune system, vitamin C’s skin health benefits have immune-boosting benefits, too.
