The healthiest drinks of autumn

The healthiest drinks of autumn are uzvars and fruit drinks. They taste good and contain a significant amount of vitamins and microelements.

How is uzvar useful?

Uzvar is a drink made from dried fruits. Most often, apples, pears, plums, apricots, and raisins are put in it. Therefore, a real concentrate of useful substances is obtained. After all, dried fruits are rich in vitamins A, C, group B, as well as potassium, iron, phosphorus, and calcium.

Dried pears, due to their significant amount of fiber, stimulate digestion and remove heavy metals and toxins from the body. Raisins strengthen the nervous system, lungs, and heart. Dried apricots contain the largest amount of microelements; they help burn extra pounds. Prunes help overcome stress and improve carbohydrate metabolism.
