"Hard as it is to believe, some people claim apricots are the secret to living to 120.  The Hunzas, a tribe living in the Himalayan mountains of Asia are some of the longest living people on earth,  Common healh problems like cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, do not exist in the Hunza.  And reseachers are wondering if apricots, a main part of their diet, are partly responsible.  The Hunzas eat fresh apricots in season and dry the rest to eat during their long, cold winter."
