Prunus armeniaca - the apricot

Prunus armeniaca - the apricot - is a remedy for many little ailments. The red-orange color comes from the beta-carotene - as in carrots - and becomes vitamin A. In the body, vitamin A makes us look better, at least it does well, and also provides strong cartilage and bone tissue. Viruses and bacteria have a hard time with apricots, because vitamin A is also good for the defense against infections. The well-known classics such as vitamin C, iron, calcium and magnesium are part of this super fruit. Even if you do not notice, the apricot is full of water. Of course, the fruit is not a melon, but it is bursting with liquid inside. Ideal when the thermometer continuously wants upward as in the last days. Pretty impressive for the little fruit.
