There are several things I love about apples...besides the many health benefits (we will get to later) Apples are delicious, convenient, and versatile! Think of all the things and apple can be.
1. Snack
2. Dessert
3. Sauce
4. Savory (think sauteed onions and apples, or turkey stuffing)
5. muffin
This list goes on... I will have apple recipes coming to you all week!
Now on to the health benefits of an apple.
1. Bone Protection
2. Alzheimer's Prevention
3. Asthma Help
4. Lower Cholesterol
5. Cancer Prevention (lung, liver, colon, breast)
6. Diabetes Management
7. Weight management (fiber packed)
Not to mention all the nutrients these babies pack (make sure to enjoy the skin)
One medium apple has about...
95 calories
4.4 grams of fiber
195 mg potassium
11 mg Calcium
20 mg Phosphorus
9 mg Magnesium

Enjoy these babies today as a quick convenient snack... they are portable, don't need to be refrigerated and always available... one organic large apple is only 69 cents at Trader Joe's! Think of all the money you can save from medical bills...
