Apples are amazing. Those shiny red and green delights are
virtual medicinal miracles. For generations, folks have trumpeted the virtues
of this fruit, saying, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.”
Is that true? Pretty much.
Here are 15 of the most commonly
recognized potential benefits of eating
plenty of apples:
- better heart health
- boosted immunities
- decreased risk of diabetes
- fewer gallstones
- healthier brain
- hunger satisfaction
- improved cancer protection
- increased fiber for intestinal health
- less cataract risk
- lower risk of stroke
- more consistent blood sugar levels
- reduced cholesterol levels
- slower mental aging
- whiter smile
- vitamin boost
To clarify, doctors seldom come to us anymore. As sure as
God made little green apples, house calls are a distant memory in most parts.
But apples may indeed help to keep us from requiring extra visits to emergency
rooms, walk-in clinics, or doctors’ offices – at least, for everyday illnesses.
How ‘bout them apples and good health?
