365 + 107: An Apple A Day Keeps The Doctor Away

   An old wives tale or is there any truth in it?

The aphorism, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away,” originated in Wales, first appearing in a publication in 1866 in a different rhyming format: “Eat an apple on going to bed and you'll keep the doctor from earning his bread.” The saying reappeared in 1913 in its current form.

Apples are an incredibly nutritious fruit that offers multiple health benefits. They're rich in fiber and antioxidants. Eating them is linked to a lower risk of many chronic conditions, including diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. Apples may also promote weight loss and improve gut and brain health.
