“AN APPLE A DAY KEEPS THE DOCTOR AWAY?” …..WHY?
Apples contain Vitamin C!
Vitamin C helps to build the immune system, which aids the body in maintaining health. People who lack Vitamin C in their diet have poor healing, bruise easily and have bleeding gums.
Apples prevent heart diseases!
Apples are rich in flavonoids, an antioxidant that is powerful in preventing both coronary heart and cardiovascular disease.
Apples are low in fat calories; high in goodness!
A regular size apple has 70-100 calories and is a good source of Dietary Fiber and Vitamin C. When craving something sweet; think apple.
Apples help to prevent cancer!
Scientist discovered that apples contain an antioxidant called procyanidins that trigger a series of cell signals, resulting in cancer cell death.
Apples help cholesterol!
Apples contain phenols, which have a double effect on cholesterol by reducing bad cholesterol and increasing good cholesterol. Phenols prevent LDL cholesterol from turning into oxidized LDL, which can be deadly. Apples are also rich in pectin, a soluble fiber, which is effective in lowering cholesterol levels.
Apples prevent tooth decay!
Tooth decay is primarily caused by the build-up of bacteria, which can seriously damage the structure of teeth. The juice of apples has properties that can kill up to 80% of bacteria.
Apples help to protect the brain!
Apples contain phytonutrients which can prevent neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s.
Apples build healthier lungs!
People who eat 5 apples or more each week have fewer respiratory problems, including asthma.

Families consuming five daily servings of fruits and vegetables from the least contaminated produce would ingest less than two pesticides daily. The chart below lists the “dirty”.
