How to Lose Weight Using The Law of Attraction

Apricots - The Perfect Package Deal

Apricots are a great fruit and have a lot of health benefits. One apricot has about 17 calories but it packs a ton of goodness in those 17 calories.

Promotes a Flat Tummy
At least half of the fiber contained in an apricot is soluble fiber. Soluble fiber can help flatten your tummy because it helps to keep you regular by effectively moving food through the GI tract. It also forms a slow digesting gel in the stomach that suppresses hunger for hours. It is a natural appetite suppressant.

Gives You Silky Soft Skin
Apricots are an effective antioxidant for the skin. They contain rich stores of lycopene which when consumed migrates to the skin and can remain there for a couple of days. This amazing antioxidant neutralizes the skin-roughening singlet oxygen that is produced during exposure to the sun's ultra violet rays. The results of this neutralization is soft silky skin!

Makes You Smarter
Apricots are high in zinc. Zinc plays a vital role in the synthesis of neurotransmitters such as dopamine. This in turn helps improve signaling into the brain's memory center (hippocampus).

Energy
Eating apricots regularly can help increase energy. This could be from the malic acid found in apricots. Malic acid aids the body's production of adenosine triphoshate (ATP) which is an energy dispensing molecule. Also, the potassium in apricots thins the blood which then optimizes the delivery of oxygen throughout the body.
