Special Precautions of Apricot

  • Coumarin should not be taken while using anticoagulants.

The benefits of Apricot are

  • apricots possess the highest levels and widest variety of carotenoids of any other food.
  • They are also excellent at regenerating body fluids, detoxifying the body and quenching thirst : Eight dried halves have 2 g of fiber, only 3 mg of sodium, and 325 mg of potassium—all of which help keep minerals from accumulating in urine and forming calcium oxalate stones, the most common type of kidney Stones (Renal Calculi)
  • pectin increases viscosity and volume of stool so that it is used against constipation and diarrhea. (pectins found in apples : 1–1.5%, apricot : 1%, cherries : 0.4%, oranges : 0.5–3.5%, carrots : 1.4%, citrus peels : 30% )
