#QOTD “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” – Proverbial Have you ever found yourself saying this familiar phrase? I decided to do a bit of research on this and found the following: Apples: - Are filled with five grams of soluble fiber that has been shown to reduce intestinal disorders such as diverticulitis and possibly some forms of cancer. - Contain pectin which can help to reduce cholesterol levels by lowering insulin secretions. - Can lower the risk of respiratory diseases such as asthma if eaten regularly. - Are low in calories and packed with vitamins A, C, flavonoids, and as many as 12,000 other phytonutrients to support good health. - Apple cider vinegar has been shown to prevent the formation of kidney stones. Exercise: Consider going to your local market or specialty grocer, and go on an apple safari. Select at least five and perhaps up to a dozen different varieties – and do a taste test to see which you prefer. Let us know what some of your favourites are........
