As I sit down to munch on my green, crisp, granny smith apple, I become distracted and start researching this 'power fruit'.I came across a document, titled 'Apple review 2009', written by Karen Kinghman.
It is a study that has looked at all the reviews of eating 'an apple a day'. According to the evidence, it suggests that this power fruit can decrease the risk of obtaining breast, lung and colon cancer. Not only can it reduce cancer, but it has been shown to reduce cardiovascular disease (which is our number one death sentence in Australia). An apple can even prevent asthma... and if your mum ate apples whilst she was pregnant, you too have a lesser chance of been diagnosed with asthma.
Apples have been shown to reduce the risk of diabetes and aiding weight loss, this is due to the low glycaemic index of the fruit.. and people are less likely to over indulge on a meal, as the energy is dispersed more evenly.
Now coming into the wintery months, we need to make sure we keep ourselves healthy and our immune system strong. Apples have been shown to improve immune function and fight out the common flu.
Well there you have it bloggers! All these benefits in just an apple a day!
How many of you, would say that you have an apple a day?
According to this document, only 43% of Australians eat 1 apple a week... we really need to get this information out there, so many of these potential health problems can be reduced.
Well my apple is finished now. And I guess it is a sign for me to get on with some other work..
Take care
