There are many similarities between peaches and apricots - they are similar in shape, and differ in size and taste, and they are described in similar pathological conditions, and in addition, they go to the market on close dates, and they have a clear advantage is that they are one of the quickest fruits of corruption.

 Peach

 Botanists believe that the homeland of peaches is China, while apricots say their origin is in Afghanistan and Turkestan. Since the earliest times in history, peaches have held a special place in religious prescriptions and beliefs.

Thousands of years ago, peach was mentioned in one of the books of Chinese wisdom, and it was said that if it ate at the right time, the body would be preserved from decay and corruption until the end of the world and that saying is overkill - very - of course. But it gives us a clear idea of ​​the point of view that the ancients considered with it, and the benefits they discovered in it until they claim that it gives immortality to the body that eats it.

From China, the fishery moved to the Caspian region, Iran and Syria, then it moved to Egypt, and its people sanctified it at that time and dedicated it to the god "Harbukrat", the god of silence. With the advent of Christianity and the accompanying migration to various parts of the earth, peaches moved to Italy, and from there to Europe. Around this time, Blaine wrote, complaining that her price had risen dramatically, and claimed that the reason was how quickly corruption hit her. Perhaps this is the reason why "Gallian" and some Arab doctors wrote later, saying that a peach is harmful to the stomach. But this accusation did not last long: at the medical school of Salona, ​​the horticulturist took care of the peaches, Vastu, of which there were many species, and since the reign of King Louis XIV, they reached thirty -three species. The benefit of peaches was not limited only to its fruits, but also to its flowers, and to this day some farmers in the regions of southern France still add fallen peach blossoms to the "authority", and they circulate a myth that says: A peach soaked in wine cures the disease of love!

At the same time that Europe knew about peaches, it also knew about apricots. At the beginning of the 1st century AD, apricot cultivation moved to Italy, and it remained there almost limited, until the 15th century. century, where it spread throughout Europe.

Peaches are a sweet fruit, with a sweet and nutritious aromatic aroma, but excessive consumption of them can cause an intestinal disturbance, and it has been observed that workers who harvest its fruit, their hands become noticeably irritated due to the contact with mould that spreads on the surface of the fruit.

 All types of peaches are similar in terms of the overall composition, they contain 81% water, sugar 4.5%, coal water 7%, and citrus fruits 1%.

And on 0.50% starches and on the cellulose of 6%, as well as high amounts of vitamin (C) and on vitamins B and B2.  , pp, and therefore valdrak is considered to strengthen nerves and intestines, and benefits for hair and skin, because it has a characteristic that prompts liver functions, intestines and stomach because of the excess sugar in it, and cellulose in it strengthens the muscles 

The intestines help fight constipation.

There is no harm in taking peaches if done in moderation for those who have the proper equipment, but those who complain of ulcers in their equipment, or inflammation of their intestines, are difficult to digest and are harmed by over-feeding.

In addition, peaches are difficult to taste for those who have blisters in the throat or inflammation of the tonsils and gums, so those in these cases can take peaches in the form of chows (compote) by boiling the peach with water and sugar with some fruit.

The best types of peaches we eat, which was mature, soft, soft in texture, dissolve in the mouth automatically. It is funny to know that peach flowers and leaves contain two contrasting properties, their boiling has a calming and tinted effect. In the case of death of nerves gives the flowers soaked peaches raised on the fire until boiling, and refrigerated the next day, this would give his moustache calm and tranquillity, but in the case of stagnation of the intestines, the same recipe is appropriate to cause and move it and get rid of toxic waste, and eliminate constipation.
