Why we say an apple a dayWe've all heard the expression "an apple a day keeps the doctor away", but you may not realise just how true it is. Apples are a powerhouse of goodness, containing more antioxidants than Australia's most popular fruits and almost four times the antioxidants of green tea. What's more, apples are rich in flavonoids, which have been shown to have a positive effect on cardiovascular health. They’ve even been linked to improved lung function and asthma protection. All wrapped up in a snack thats got a reputation for being deliciously tempting. |
