Expert Quote:
“The old proverb, dating back to 1866, ‘Eat an apple on going to bed, and you’ll keep the doctor from earning his bread’ and soon afterward shortened to ‘An apple a day keeps the doctor away,’ still holds true. Low-calorie apples are high in fiber, phytochemicals, and potassium, which can be healthy for your heart, teeth, waist, and gut.” – Clinical Professor Joan Salge Blake
