Apricots provide our bodies with powerful eyesight and cardiovascular protection. They lower inflammation and help keep Alzheimer's disease at bay. All of this is because of high amounts of phytochemicals and antioxidants present inside the fruit and skin. Apricots are very beneficial to long term health.
oxidative stress
pertains to a result of free radical formations within the body that are absorbed from our environment. Free radicals, for example oxygen molecules, are molecules that have lost a valence electron making them very unstable. Free radicals create oxidative stress on the body by binding to whatever is available, even healthy areas of cells. This is why antioxidants must be present to combat this.
