An Apple A Day...

They’re an all-American treat that we bake into pies at Thanksgiving and enjoy out of hand year-round. They’re part of our logo because they represent health and wellbeing. But, did you know that …..

Apples can help you look and feel younger. The antioxidants in apples make them fierce defenders of every cell in our body, shielding against the free radical damage that leads to everything from wrinkles to heart disease to memory loss as we age. The antioxidants in apples prevent the breakdown of collagen, keeping the skin smooth, firm and youthful. The antioxidants in apples also reduce artery-clogging LDL cholesterol levels a whopping 34% - enough to slash your risk of heart disease by 20% or more.

 Just eating one apple a day can cut your risk of cancer by as much as 70%. An apple’s unique blend of antioxidants helps halt the growth of abnormal colon, prostate and liver cancer cells. Apples are rich in D-glucaric acid, a natural sugar that blocks the growth of pre-existing tumors.

 Apples can help you shed pounds. Having an apple as an appetizer can help you effortlessly lose weight. Apples are nature’s number one source of pectin, a soluble fiber proven to cut cravings and suppress appetite. Apples are also rich in insoluble fiber, the type that slows the absorption of sugar from the intestines, keeping your blood sugar and energy levels stable for up to four hours.

ENJOY AN APPLE!
