An Apple A Day May Really Keep The Doctor Away
I look forward to fall because the grocery stores have an abundance of many varieties of apples. Did you know there are 2,500 different types of apples grown in the US? Some taste a little tart and make your mouth pucker and your tongue water. I have had apples that were so sweet that they satisfied my sweet tooth. Talk about variety, think about the different colors of an apple; red, green or yellow. Some varieties are great to bake with, while others are delicious served with the perfect cheese at a wine party and cheese party.
A new study by the University of Reading reveals that an apple a day may keep the doctor away. Researcher Gunther Kuhnle says, ”To reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease, we recommend consuming 400mg-600mg of flavan-3-ols, per day. This is equivalent to a couple of cups of tea, some red or purple berries, and an apple. It is far more effective to take in your daily amount as healthy food or beverages than to take a supplement. For most people, it will probably be easy to meet this as three cups of tea are usually enough. But those who don’t drink much tea could consider picking their five-a-day from a group of fruits and vegetables that are high in flavanols such as apples.”
