“An apple a day keeps
the doctor away” was coined and popularized at the 1904 World Fair in St.
Louis, Missouri by J.T. Stinson, a fruit specialist. This 19th
century Wales proverb was coined during a lecture addressing the health benefits
of the fruit (apple).
Now let’s jump straight
to into the apple soup and serve you with proven reasons why eating an apple
fruit a day will most likely keep you away from the consulting room (AIDS is
still real though!!).
An
apple says;

Apples are known rich
sources of flavonoids. Flavonoids are primarily plant-based compounds
with powerful antioxidant properties. These nutrients with their
antioxidant effect helps in fighting against coronary heart disease as well as
cardiovascular heart disease.
TAKE
VITAMIN C
Apples have an
impressive Vitamin C percent value of 6% (4.6mg). This provides the body good
amounts of Vitamin C for numerous functions like prominently having an
immune-stimulating effect (e.g. defending the body against infections like
common cold), “cement” for connective tissues, wound healing, teeth and gum
health, iron abortion eye health etc.
PREVENT
CANCERS
Frequent eating of
apples will help reduce your risk of developing several cancers. Evidence
reveals colon cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer and breast cancer are among
the cancers eating of apples will help keep-away.

OF BAD CHOLESTEROL
Phenol in apples helps
increase the amount of brown fat (good cholesterol) while simultaneously
reducing the amount of white fat (bad cholesterol). The dietary fibre in apples
reduces the amount of cholesterol you absorb and helps keep your body regular.
Eating apples also aids in the prevention of the conversion of Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) to
oxidized LDL which has a devastating health effect. This means your need to
make eating apples a regular daily habit.

brain is and caring about what makes you “you” should be a priority.
Phytonutrients found in apples greatly reduce the risk of development
neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinsonism and Alzheimer’s.

The juice in apples
kills about 80% of mouth-bacteria that otherwise would cause structural damage
to your teeth. This in essence means you get to keep the dentist away as well.

at the University of Nottingham proves the reduction in respiratory
problems (like asthma) in people who ate 5 or more apples per week.
