Apples for Your Health
You’ve heard the old saying, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away."
Originally from the Welsh folk proverb circa 1866 and then used in the United States shortly after, apples have long been known for their health-promoting properties and the vital nutrients they offer in abundance.
This high-fiber, low-calorie, anti-oxidant rich fruit is an age-old remedy that modern science has confirmed can reduce risk of many common ailments, including cancer, diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, inflammation, acid reflux (heart burn), asthma, and high cholesterol.
Apples are rich in Vitamin C, necessary for a healthy immune system. Apples also contain nutrients to encourage sharp, mental agility. In fact, the brain-friendly phytonutrients in apples may even protect against degenerative brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson's1.
