AN APPLE A DAY…..

There’s something to the old adage “An Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away”.

Apples are filled with healthy nutrients, antioxidants and fiber and taste great to boot!!

Here are just some of the amazing health benefits that eating a medium sized apple provides…..

Up to 10% of your daily fiber
No saturated fats or cholesterol
Only 50-75 calories
10% of your daily vitamin C
Plenty of anti oxidants

Fiber has been proven to reduce serum cholesterol levels and may help reduce the risk of colon cancer. Plus it helps keep you regular.

The antioxidants in apples including the flavonoid quercetin, and phytonutrients and ployphenols protect the body from the deleterious effects of free radicals.

Vitamin C is also a powerful, natural anti oxidant that helps to boost the immune system and scavenge harmful, pro-inflammatory free radicals from the body.

Remember to always buy organic and try to eat locally grown fruits and vegetables as much as possible.

SO, next time you’re looking for a healthy snack remember all the great reasons to choose a healthy, delicious apple ……… and keep ME away!!
