An apple a day keeps the doctor away?

Yes it's true because apples have many health benefits. There's also a saying that "to eat an apple going to bed make the doctor beg his bread". Although apples have a small amoutn of vitamin C, eating 100 grams of apple provides the same amount of antioxidant activity as taking 1,500 miligrams of the same vitamin. Just make sure you do not take too many apple seeds because it could be toxic if taken in large amounts. anyway, we dont really eat apple seeds isn't it? I do buy apple juice than the fruit because it is good in kidney and i have some kidney problems before.

The other saying is, "If the doctor's away, send for a well known apple"... alternatively, perhaps doctors are allergic to apples. So, if you need a doctor for anything which can't be dealt with by an apple, you should hide the apples. Suggest not trying to splint broken leg with an apple. Very messy.

I'm not a great lover of apples, but I will eat one on a coach journey to prevent travel sickness, at times. I quite like the red apples we can buy here in August... I've forgotten what they're called but they're softish and juicy. I also like Russet Apples at Christmas, but that's as far as it goes. Apples do have great health properties, but I'm not sure the saying is literal, so I don't eat one a day because of this. Thank you for this discussion Jay, and Brightest Blessings.

actually, this is true. its not just any theory. . apples are great sources of the following: - dietary fibers, which helps maintain blood sugar levels. - anti-oxidants, to detoxify the body - boron (mineral), which promotes bone health and a whole lot more. so if you have a chance to eat some apples, better take that advantage. c',)
