May reduce pregnancy risks

Because of their potassium concentration, nectarines may reduce some pregnancy risks. High blood pressure is linked to a number of negative pregnancy health outcomes, including preterm birth, Cesarean delivery, and maternal mortality.

Increasing your potassium intake, on the other hand, may drop your blood pressure. The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet, for example, is high in potassium-rich fruits and vegetables due to its blood-pressure-lowering properties. If you're expecting, eating extra potassium-rich foods like nectarines may help you have a safe and healthy birth.
