The Apple is a healing superfood

"An apple a day keeps the doctor away."

This age old saying has rings true today more than ever. Current BIG pharma companies offer drugs, and interventions, all of which carry unintended, side effects and health risks that outweigh their benefits,

A flavonoid called phlorizin found in apple helps protect from thinning bones and increases bone density. Pectin in the apple improve bowel health and lowers the levels of bad form of cholesterol. It is also helpful in managing diabetes because Phlorizin reduces kidney glucose transport, lowering the amount of sugars  in the blood. The apple is effective in offsetting some forms of cancers such as liver cancer, colon cancer, lung cancer and breast cancer.

Apples originated in the Middle East about 4000 years ago.
More than 7,500 varieties of apples are grown all over the world.
United States produces about 2,500 varieties of apples.
An e apple contains about 80 calories.
