An apple a day

The saying "An apple a day keeps the doctor away" reminds us of a truth known for years. A medium-sized apple contains approximately 80 calories and contains powerful antioxidants, especially quercetin.

The positive effects of regular apple consumption on cardiovascular health, the digestive system and weight management are supported by scientific studies. When possible, eating with the skin increases fibre and antioxidant intake.
