Apricot Kernels 350g

There are many steps you can take to support your health, especially including as wide and varied a diet as possible of natural, health giving foods, (in particular your recommended "5 a day"), avoiding processed foods and keeping fit and active, you might even want to experiment with raw food that is packed with enzymes

Nuts and seeds are very healthy, and we don’t eat anywhere near the level of these as we used to. Adding a few Apricot Kernels to your diet, is an excellent lifestyle choice.

Apricot Kernels contain a host of nutrients, including good levels of vitamin B17; other foods rich in B17 include cereal millet, buckwheat, macadamia nuts, bamboo shoots, mung beans, lima beans and  butter beans - all are exellent additions to your diet.

High in the mountains of Pakistan, the Hunza people love to eat Apricot Kernels. The measure of wealth for the Hunzas is not money, but rather the number of Apricot trees they own! Fresh in the summer, and carefully dried for the harsh winters, apricots, including the kernels are an important part of their diet.

These Apricot Kernels are subject to strict quality control procedures and reach you in the peak of freshness, with all of the valuable nutrients preserved

Who Are the Hunzas?
The Hunza tribe are fascinating, and renowned for being some of the healthiest people in the world, there are other tribal peoples in Pakistan, especially in the Himalayas who are also very healthy. Serious health issues are extremely rare. People often live well into their 90s and 100s in perfectly good health and can even be seen working the fields!
 
Part of the reason for their good health is thought to be the cloudy water they drink, cook with and use on their crops. This water contains a mineral rich, rock dust created from the glaciers high above them as shown in the picture on your right. 

There is no doubt that their chemical and pollution free environment must also be an important part of their excellent health, and sadly not one we can replicate in the west. What we can do is lead the healthiest lives we can paying particular attention to a good diet and active, healthy lifestyle
 
Apricot Kernels can be simply chewed, (should not be swallowed whole). For those who do not like the almond-like taste, grinding and mixing with honey is a convenient, palatable alternative, the honey mixture can be added to cereals or just simply spread on bread
 
Nutritional supplements and foods can support long term health as part of an all round healthy lifestyle, but of course can never replace an excellent diet. As a natural food stuff, Apricot Kernels are eaten all over the world on a daily basis, but it should be noted that the Food Standards Agency issued guidelines in 2006 that no more than two Apricot Kernels a day should be consumed.
