Chinese medicine believes that apricot is mild in nature and low in toxicity, suitable for people with slow metabolism, anemia, cold limbs and deficiency-cold constitution, and also beneficial to patients with colds, tuberculosis, phlegm cough and edema. But for people with hot constitution, eating apricots can easily aggravate symptoms such as dry mouth and constipation. Moreover, fresh apricots are acidic, which is easy to damage teeth and has a certain impact on the spleen and stomach. Patients with gastrointestinal diseases should not eat more.

This natural antioxidant helps to keep cells young and energetic, and reduces the risk of senile diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. Apricot pulp also contains flavonoids, which can effectively fight cardiovascular diseases.
