Nectarine

Due to its low sodium level, since it only has 1 mg per 100 grams of nectarine in its nutritional composition, this fruit is recommended for people suffering from hypertension or those who want to lower cholesterol levels.

On the other hand, official studies undertaken by the American Chemical Society confirm that nectarine, along with other fruits such as peach, thanks to its bioactive compounds is ideal for combating diabetes, obesity and preventing cardiovascular diseases.

Regarding the minerals present in its composition, we can emphasize about 10 mg of magnesium per 100 g of nectarine, which will be essential to strengthen our muscles, avoiding the formation of injuries when we undertake some physical effort or even muscle cramps.

Equally interesting is the presence of zinc, which is involved in the formation and mineralization of bones, helps prevent prostate problems and is directly involved in the condition of our skin, nails and hair.

Another important mineral in its composition is the potassium, that intervenes in the production of the proteins, increasing the neuronal excitability. This is another benefit of nectarine because together with the aforementioned magnesium, it contributes to correct neuronal functioning and helps us to regulate blood pressure.

We can highlight the presence of many vitamins such as A for the improvement of our eyesight and skin, those of group B and C, ideal to strengthen our defenses against any external threat and improve the functioning of our immune system.
