Why Are Apples Important In The Diet?

Apples Do Help Keep the Doctor Away

We've all heard that "an apple a day keeps the doctor away," - and it still seems to be a small step you can take to help keep you and your family healthier. Fresh fruits and veggies increase your intake of antioxidants and these nutrients can really help protect your body from the ill effects of smog. One study showed that eating 5 or more apples a week was linked to slightly better lung function, something attributed to the fact apples contain high levels of the antioxidant quercetin (also wonderful for lessening allergies). Make sure to eat organic or else scrub skins with a brush under warm, soapy water.
