Apricots: a perfect summer food

If you are a grape or apple fan, you may know that those fruits (and their skins) are some of the healthiest things you can eat these days. Fruits like tangerines and apricots are a little more exotic, but have immense health benefits as well.

Not only do many fruits -- including apricots -- combat cancer, they are good for helping prevent heart disease as well as helping to prevent cataracts.

In other words, if you're not eating a daily dose of fresh fruit, what are you waiting for? The benefits are simply tremendous. The taste is not bad either! Start a healthy habit this summer and get hooked on apricots.
