Apricots

The apricot is loaded with betacarotene, iron, fiber, vitamin C and several B vitamins and over 8,000 other nutritional components making it a fantastic fruit. Dry apricots are a great snack because upon drying an apricot, its nutrients get more concentrated.

Eating apricots will help you with the effects of aging, protect your eyesight, ward off cancer and prevent heart disease whether they are fresh or dried. Apricots, especially dried ones, are another source of lycopene, which is the amazing carotenoid that can help prevent prostate, breast and several other cancers. Munching on apricots throughout the day can boost your lycopene quicker than you think even though they are not nearly as good a source of lycopene as the tomato; about 30 dried apricots have the same amount of lycopene as one tomato. Apricots are also a beta-carotene which is good source of the most famous carotenoid. The consumption of this powerful nutrient reduces your risk of some types of stomach and intestinal cancers.

To get these benefits, eat about six fresh apricots a day.
