Apples: A Source For Healthy Aging

An apple a day, la, la, la. It should be said that an “unpeeled” apple a day keeps the doctor away. (Of course, it must be washed very thoroughly because of pesticides.) The skin is rich in fibers which stabilize blood sugars and thus reduces the risk of diabetes. Substances in apples reduce the cholesterol level and antioxidants in them improve lung function.

Apples are wonderful for the skin. They contain substances such as minerals and vitamins, which nourish the skin from deep within. They can eliminate brown spots.

Eating an apple will give the sensation of feeling full, thus eating less and losing weight easily.  Fibers in apples absorb fats and sugar like a sponge and aid in eliminating them from the body.

Foods that promote healthy aging also enhance your age esteem.

 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!
