How come that an apple a day keeps the doctor away?

Have you ever wondered why there is a saying that "An apple a day keeps the doctor away?" If yes then this post is very good for you, and if not... you have to wonder now haha joke! :3

Apples are just one of the fruits that we love eating. We always see them at the fridge, at fruit baskets, food garnishes,dessert at the market and in many different places in the world. But did you know why apple is being admired by so many people aside from it's taste? The answer is because the saying I have mentioned above is true! Apple makes you healthy, and being healthy means lowering the possibility to go to the doctor. Can't believe it?

Well here are some proofs that will tell you why the apple is very healthy to eat.

An apple a day is perhaps one of the most delicious prescriptions ever made. Apples are a powerful source of antioxidants, including polyphenols, flavonoids, and vitamin C.Our cells can be harmed by free radicals-unavoidable substances in our bodies formed through natural living processes—but antioxidant compounds can reduce the damage and lessen the likelihood that disease will ensue.

Also apples are a good source of fiber, and potassium. The fiber helps us relieve constipation and hemorrhoids,it keeps our weight under control and most importantly diets that are high in fiber have been highly correlated with a reduction in risk of developing heart disease. On the other hand potassium helps prevent stroke, low blood sugar, muscle disorder, and cramps it also stabilize the blood pressure and helps us in overcoming our stress and anxiety.

and did you know that there are only 47 calories in an average sized apple so you will not have to worry being fat by eating a lot of it.

Aside from its link to heart health, the apple, with its supercharged antioxidant content, it has also been linked to the prevention of lung cancer, improved pulmonary (lung) function, and the prevention of type II diabetes.

Enough reasons why you should believe that the apples can really keep you away from the doctors!

One last note: Apples should be eaten with their skin because the apple skin alone provides two to six times the antioxidant activity of the apple flesh so it is important to eat the skin to obtain the full health benefits of apples.


Now you know so! FACT YOU!!!!!
