The saying “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” has its roots in good solid truth.  The apple is a marvel of nutritional engineering and because of its overall health effects, it’s no wonder the apple will grow in moderate climes where winter nutrition is hard to come by.  Apples are easy to store, easy to eat and can be cooked with, without real damage to their nutritional integrity. As a rich source of soluble fiber, the type that actually prevents the feelings of hunger, apples are a dieter’s best friend, kept on hand for munchies emergencies. Apples bring your sugar levels up and keep them up, staving off hunger for longer periods of time.  Their crunchy texture helps to alleviate the psychological habit involved in eating that bothers some dieters. Apples lower cholesterol and blood pressure naturally. As one of the premium fat burning foods, apples cause you to expend calories as you chew and while you digest.  Don’t forget your apple a day!
