It is no coincidence that most cosmetic skin products have vitamin C as their main ingredient. In fact, vitamin C, found in adequate amounts in apricots, has a great effect on the condition of the skin, since it is involved in the production of collagen.
Vitamins A and E, found in apricots, are important for maintaining good eye health. More specifically, vitamin E protects the eyes from free radicals that damage cells, while vitamin A protects against a disease called nyctalopia (night blindness)
Beta-carotene, which is also found in apricots, is known for its protective effect against sunburn. For this reason, it is one of the main ingredients in sun protection products. It can reduce wrinkles and damage caused by pollution and UV radiation, and improve overall skin health, both when ingested through food and when applied topically.
Their iron content may help those suffering from anemia. The fruit's low but significant copper content also helps iron circulate in the body.
Apricots are rich in potassium. Studies show that people who eat a diet high in potassium and low in sodium tend to have balanced blood pressure levels. In addition, according to other studies, people who consume 4069 mg of potassium daily have almost a 50% lower risk of dying from ischaemic heart disease. In addition, apricots are rich in powerful antioxidants called flavonoids. These protect the cells from free radicals that cause oxidative stress.
Apricots are an excellent source of fiber, which improves intestinal health by promoting its regularity and nourishing its microflora.
