The old proverb “eat
an apple a day to keep the doctor away” has
been bandied about since the 1800s,
but is it really true?
Eating
an apple everyday isn't a 'cure all'. It won't necessarily keep the
doctor away, however, apples eaten as part of a healthy diet
definitely have their benefits.
-
Apples are full of vitamin C.
-
They are a good source of fibre, especially when eaten with the skin on.
-
The average sized apple is only 100 calories.
-
Apples are a great snack option.
-
Apples can help to lower cholestrol.
-
Apples contain potasiumn which is good at maintaining a healthy heart.
Some
people say that green apples are better than red – the crux of the
matter is no matter what colour or type you're eating, including an
apple in your diet is definitely a good thing.
