Apricot

Apricots are seen as a cancer fighter, especially within regards to smoking related illnesses, such as lung cancer. They are said to be a great fruit for people suffering from constipation, high blood pressure, anaemia and all skin and respiratory conditions.
Apricots are orange- red coloured fruits; they contain vast amounts of the antioxidant beta- carotene, which is a form of Vitamin A that is successful by preventing specific cancers including lung and skin. Apricots are believed to be an excellent fruit for ex-smokers to eat and to be an important part of anyone’s diet, especially people suffering from infections or skin problems. In general the brighter the fruit, the more beta-carotene is contained in it.
Apricots are packed with fibre, which helps protect the health of the gut. Apricots are enriched with both magnesium and calcium; these minerals are thought to help prevent the bone disease osteoporosis.
Apricots are reported to be useful as they create antibodies, stabilise sugar levels and improve the transportation of oxygen in the blood. Apricots are also a great source of iron, especially for women who are trying to have a baby.
