Benefits of Dried Fruits and Nuts

• Immune System Boosters: Dried fruits are a good source of plant compounds such as powerful antioxidants. It provides a boost to the immune system, allowing the body to fight infections and viruses more effectively. Antioxidants found in nuts such as walnuts and almonds may protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.
• Natural substitute to artificial sugar: Packed with fiber, potassium, and various health-promoting nutrients, many dried fruits help balance out the sugar by slowing down absorption and lowering the impact of carbohydrates on blood sugar levels.
• Healthy bones: As dried fruits are rich in proteins, calcium, and other micronutrients, they have a positive impact on bones and help strengthen them. Dried apricots, figs, dates, and prunes are excellent sources of calcium.
• Aids weight loss: When eaten in moderation, some dried fruits and nuts may help lose weight. Studies indicate that the body does not absorb all the calories in nuts such as almonds, walnuts, pistachios, and cashews which allow the maintenance of a fit body without weight gain. Dried raisins, apricots, and dates also promote weight loss.
