Nectarines are excellent sources of potassium and other minerals such as phosphorous, magnesium and calcium without any harmful cholesterol.
Calories
A medium-sized nectarine has only 62 calories. Small nectarines have about 50 calories, and large ones can have up to 80 calories. Nectarines can help you lose weight since they have fiber and are filling with very few calories.
Protein
There are 1.51 g of protein in each average-sized nectarine. Fruits do not usually have a lot of protein, so nectarines have slightly more protein than most fruits do. Nectarines do have small amounts of individual amino acids, which, when eaten with other amino acids, combine to form complete proteins in the body.
Health Benefits of Nectarines:
Antioxidant defense: Nectarines have a wonderful antioxidant power with a good amount of polyphenols, vitamin C content and carotenoids such as beta-carotene and cryptoxanthin. The skin of the nectarine fruit has a higher concentration of such components as compared to the pulp so, just wash the fruit properly and eat unpeeled. These protective antioxidants exert free radical scavenging activities and assist in neutralizing the damaging effects of oxygen free molecules.
Relief from obesity problems: Nectarines may prove useful in condition of obesity and its associated complications. Research studies have shown that stone fruits such as nectarines contains bioactive compounds such as anthocyanins, catechin, chlorogenic acid and quercitin derivatives which have the potential to combat obesity related medical conditions like diabetes and cardiac disorders. The anti-obesity and anti-diabetic qualities may work against the metabolic syndrome and decrease the oxidation of bad cholesterol which is implicated in obesity related heart diseases.

Prevention of hypokalemia: Nectarines contains potassium which is essential for proper nerve and cellular function. Potassium present in stone fruits such as nectarine helps in proteins synthesis, functioning of the muscles, maintain electrolyte balance, and optimally utilize carbohydrates and supports metabolic processes. Deficit of potassium in the body may lead to disorders like hypokalemia which may degrade the muscular health and may cause cardiac arrthymia.
Cardiac health: Regular consumption of stone fruits such as nectarines may prove beneficial in maintainingcardiovascular health attributing to the presence of heart friendly antioxidants. Chlorogenic acid and anthocyanins present in nectarines exert inhibitory action against the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, prevents hardening of arteries and encourages proper circulation of human platelets. Flavonoids found in nectarines may help in preventing rise in the aggregation of platelets and reduce the risk of development of atherosclerosis.
Prevention of cancer: As stated above, nectarines contain chlorogenic acid, a natural compound which has multiple health benefits including prevention of various tumors and cancer such as colon cancer. Chlorogenic acid as suggested by studies possesses chemopreventive properties which inhibit the proliferation of colon carcinogenesis. Research studies have also presented qualitative evidence regarding the role of beta-carotene present in the Rosaceae botanical group which also includes nectarines in providing protection against lung cancer.
Stronger immune defense: Inclusion of drupes such as nectarines aids in enhancing the immune defense mechanism of the body. Abundance of antioxidants such as vitamin C, zinc and other protective phenolic components in nectarines increase body’s ability to fight various infections by promoting the synthesis of antibodies. These defending components reduce the risk and intensity of diseases such as malaria and common cold and leads to speedy recovery of wounds and other illnesses.
Healthy skin: Bioflavonoids present in nectarine contributes productively in the skin care. Anti-oxidative components such as vitamin C, lutein and beta- carotene found in nectarines take up the credit for such defensive effect. Beta-carotene, which is a precursor of vitamin A, is instrumental in exerting protective action against the skin damage caused by the exposure to UV radiations. Vitamin C contributes in collagen synthesis, helps in keeping the tissues toned up and maintains the youthfulness of the skin. In addition to this, research study has advocated the photo-protective effect of lutein present in nectarines in guarding the skin from free radical damage and UV-induced erythema.
Food for pregnancy: Expectant mothers can benefit from the vitamin and mineral treasure present in nectarines especially the folate content which helps in reducing the risk of neural tube defects like spina bifida and also contributes in overall health of the mother and the baby. Abundance of potassium assists in preventing muscle cramps and keeps up the energy levels by building up the proteins. Fiber keeps up the digestive health and vitamin C content contributes in the proper growth and development of the muscles, teeth and blood vessels of the growing baby. So, next time you feel hungry just grab a nectarine and feel enriched.
