We all love sweets, but sometimes it’s worth thinking about how good they are for our health.
Particular attention should be paid to this issue for people suffering from chronic diseases.
Ekaterina Burlyaeva, a therapist and nutritionist, spoke about the most useful sweet for those who have heart problems.
According to the expert, it is dried apricots.
This is because this dried fruit is an excellent source of potassium, an important micronutrient for the heart.
Potassium is necessary for the contractile function of the myocardium, it also normalizes the heart rhythm.
Surprisingly, 100 grams of dried apricots contain about 60-70% of the daily requirement of potassium.
In addition, dried apricots are rich in dietary fiber, which helps lower blood cholesterol levels, which is also important for cardiovascular health.
But don’t rush to greedily pounce on dried apricots: remember that this product is high in calories, so it is recommended to consume no more than 50-70 grams per day.
