An apple a day, keeps the doctor away!

hi, if you have an apple a day it will keep the doctor away but if the doctor is close to you you better keep the apple away. lol. smiles always, apple.

Am apple a day will keep the doctor away if I eat them. They give me gas!

Apples keep people from getting constipated. If you are constipated long enough, you'll have hemorroids. And that would take you to the doctor.

It is an old saying, I don't know where it started but I always thought it was from the early 20th century and it was a way to get people to eat apples. Apples are a great source of vitamin c and a.So they can help you remain healthy.So I guess it is true.

I was watching a documentary a while ago and there was some speculation that it had partly to do with sailors. When at sea they couldn't get access to a lot of fresh food and many suffered from deficiency diseases such as scurvy or rickets. Oranges are known for having vitamin C but apples do as well and they keep much better than oranges. It was found that eating fruit such as apples kept the sailors healthier and therefore "kept the doctor away" whom many of them wouldn't have been able to see anyway.

See I don't know if I believe that because I know a lot of people who eat healthy, and they still have lots of medical problems.

It is a very old saying, but someone was way ahead of their time! Apples are so nutritious: low sodium, high in fiber, low fat, and more! If one eats an apple a day, they are likely getting enough fiber to help keep them 'regular' in their bowel movements and getting plenty of vitamin C too!

yes and i believe so, apple has many nutrients so if you keep eating it every day your body would absorbs it and makes you healthy.

Hi there. Ive never heard of that saying "An apple a day, keeps the doctor away" but I have heard of "An apple a day keeps the dentist away" lol...

I guess is probably owing to its nutrients. I personally feel that a balanced diet, exercise regularly and plenty of rest with a clear mind will keep a doctor away be it physically or mentally.

Well, an apple is a healthy food. It has fibers and it has negative calories! But I think I read from Reader's Digest that it's actually five apples. However, of course, if yous moke, drink, don't exercise, eat junk foods, etc. and eat apple alongside it, it still wouldn't keep the doctor away, right?

the old saying is valid.I believe it although I can't tell you why.fruit teast delicious and is good to our health.I love many kinds of fruit.I like have a tomato,or pear half an hour after dinner.

it probaly means eat healthy treat your body wright then you wouldnt need to go to the doctors to check if u have any thing wrong with u thats what i think

haha.. i think is right!

There are countries where a cost of apple is beyond an ordinary man's reach. In that case the saying should be AN APPLE A DAY KEEPS THE MONEY AWAY. Anyhow, talking about apple, it is believed that eating apple contributes for imporvement of blood ciruclation. I do not know any other theories.
