The benefits of dry fruits

Dried fruit is a major part of our lives, especially on holidays and special occasions. But is it not to be attentive to that fresh fruit is healthier?!

Although there are many health benefits of dried fruit, but they are rich in calories, which requires those who wish to maintain their weight, drew attention to the amount of calories they consume by the fruit.

Dried fruit per meal (which consist of between 2-3 passing, for example, or apricots, or grains of Tin or small raisins) contains 60 calories and can be a good alternative and nutritious to the pleasant or desserts, so you should not exaggerate these meals.

There are four distinct benefits to these dried fruit:

1. prevent constipation: dried fruit is effective and efficient in the treatment of constipation, especially albromia (plum) and dried figs. The reason behind this is the large amount of dietary fiber, which stimulate the bowel action. As well, causing high sugar concentration by leak large amounts of fluids to the bowel and digestive system, leading to softer food digested, they come out of the body quickly.

Tip to prevent constipation: it boil 2 or 3 pills of albromia and figs in a glass of water and drink the "boiling" in the morning on an empty stomach. Possible to prepare enough for several days, and the addition of sweeteners and convert it to a local drink.

2. Prevention of anaemia: contains dried albromia, as well as apricots and raisins, the amount of Cipro from the iron. Many people do not know that 100 grams of dried albromia containing a quantity of iron is equal to 100 grams of chicken meat, and every 100 grams of dried apricot quantity of iron up to twice the quantity in 100 grams of beef, four times in chicken meat. However, it should be remembered that the absorption of iron from meat products better when the vegetable products, including dried fruits.

To stimulate the process of iron absorption from dried fruit, it is necessary to integrate vitamin C in the diet, and is found in fresh fruits and vegetables, primarily strawberries, citrus, melon, pepper, Kiwi, tomatoes (tomatoes) and others.

3. strengthening the immune system: the fresh fruits and vegetables are very useful in strengthening the immune system, thanks to a large amount of vitamin C. here must remember that vitamin C is being demolished and oxidation in dried fruits.

In contrast, the alovakh of dried orange and yellow, like papaya, pineapple, apricot, rich in vitamin A and beta-kirotine material, two important elements that contribute to strengthening the immune system.

4. calcium to strengthen bones: figs, hazelnuts, and almonds are rich in calcium, but also rich in calories. It is true that 100 grams of almonds give us 250 milligrams of calcium, but it cost us more than 600 calories, while we get 220 mg of calcium, compared with 60 calories if we approached producer of milk products for diets.

Beware of .... The calorie bomb! Like almonds, other nuts that contain a lot of the food concessions, heavy calcium, Omega-3, and magnesium.

But they are all rich in calories. 100 grams of almonds contains 600 o. h. 100 grams of seeds (sunflower, pumpkin pulp pumpkins, melons) contain about 500 o. h. It also contains 100 grams of coconut trees on about 650 s. h.

A summary of the dried fruits contain a lot of health benefits, it is delicious and sweet and preferably merge as an alternative to sweets – in children or in adults.

It would be desirable to prepare a large bowl of dried fruit all the time and not only events, so that when we develop eating something they eat.

It cut up fresh fruit to the children when they are in front of a computer screen or TV, instead of giving them sweets are harmful. We must always remember the large number of calories in nuts, if we wish to maintain our weight, we must reduce our consumption amounts to.
