Who needs makeup when we have Apricots?

HA! Even though I am not ready to give up my cosmetic bag quite yet, I might just have to add some dried apricots to my kit for a snack.   I recently learned that APRICOTS are a wonderful anti aging weapon. Try working some apricots into your diet and you will be happy with all their fantastic benefits.  Maybe the saying should read, some apricots a day keep the wrinkles away. Here are just a few things that these little orange treat's have to offer:
 
Apricots possess the highest levels and widest variety of carotenoids.

Carotenoids are antioxidants that help prevent heart disease, reduce “bad cholesterol” levels, and protect against cancer.

Apricots are considered helpful in regenerating body fluids, detoxifying, and quenching thirst.

So next time you are out shopping for that really expensive rejuvenating night or eye cream take a detour to the grocery store and buy some apricots instead!
