An Apple A Day

 “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”.  How often we have heard these words and yet probably never asked why.

The apple is a powerhouse of health benefits.  It overcomes fatigue and brightens the skin and makes it look healthy.  In ancient times it was used as a beauty product.

The Mayo Clinic in the U.S. has decreed apples as a positive anti-cholesterol fruit.  It is full of anti-oxidants which are essential for good heart health.

Its sugar content is such that it is assimilated in the body and not used up all at once, such as chocolate is for example, which makes one less hungry over a period of time. Thus hunger is controlled and weight can be lost. One feels less full.

There are many varieties and colors such as red, green and yellow. Some are sour, some are sweet and some are crunchy.  One can never get tired of eating an apple a day with such a choice.

Good health is key to our happiness and age esteem.  So, stock up on apples to maintain and improve good health!
