An Apple A Day or…
It was once said that “an apple a day keeps the doctor away”. In today’s world with trans fats galore and unhealthy carbs everywhere I noticed a saying while visiting South Ridge Farms in Utah that caught my eye. It said: “two apples a day gets the doctors OK”. What a clever way to take an age old saying and make it meet more modern standards!
The health benefits of apples and apple products were first recorded as early as medieval times, giving rise to the old English saying “Ate an apfel avore gwain to bed Makes the doctor beg his bread” and its more recent variation, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Apples’ healthy attributes have received considerable renewed interest recently, following the publication of several studies linking apple nutrients to an impressive range of health benefits.
Apples and processed apple foods can be an important part of a healthy diet. This section is dedicated to providing you with healthy eating advice, apple nutrition information and healthy eating tips.
Apple Health Research
Modern science is providing more and more proof of that adage about “an apple a day.” What we know about apple health benefits is constantly expanding, as new apple health research is reported in the United States and around the world. While the study of apples’ health benefits is still in very early stages, research to date suggests that apples and apple nutrients may play a role in promoting human health in a number of ways, including:
- promoting cardiovascular health by helping maintain healthy cholesterol levels;
- maintaining a healthy weight along with exercise, as part of a low-fat, fiber-rich diet;
- promoting lung health, by helping maintain healthy membranes;
- promoting bone health, by contributing boron, a mineral important to bone health, to the diet.
Please consult your personal physician or nutrition consultant for specific diet and lifestyle advice to promote your better health and quality of life. And make apples and apple products a part of your daily plan for healthy eating!
