An Apple a Day
“An apple a day keeps the doctor away.”
But how much truth is there to that saying?
Well, it seems like the many health benefits of apples lie in a substance called quercetin. Studies show that quercetin, along with other powerful compounds in apples, can help to fight cancer, keep your lungs clear, control your cholesterol levels and reduce your risk of heart disease.
But that’s not all. If you have diabetes, an apple a day nay help you to control your blood sugar levels. Apples can also help you to lose weight if you are overweight.
So, go ahead. Have a bite and enjoy the many health benefits that apples have to offer.
