1 Antioxidants are essential for heart as they protect it. Apples are rich in antioxidants. In this fruit it is the catechin, quercetin, flavonoid, polyphenols, phloridzin and chlorogenic acid that act as antioxidants. However it must be remembered that the skin of the apple is high on these. Besides the antioxidants, an apple is rich in fibres that help to reduce high cholesterol. Malic and tartaric acids also protect the liver and aid in digestion. People suffering from asthma are also recommended to have apples. Nutritive Values : Per 100 grams Vitamin A : 900 I.U. Vitamin B : Thiamine .07 mg. Vitamin C : 5 mg. Vitamin G : Amount uncertain Calcium : 6 mg. Iron : 3 mg. Phosphorus : 10 mg. Potassium : 130 mg. Carbohydrates : 14.9 gm. Calories : 58

It isn t often that I get the opportunity to list Wales as the source of a commonplace English phrase. There s a fair chance that this little maxim originated there as the earliest known example of its use in print makes that claim. The February 1866 edition of Notes and Queries magazine includes this: A Pembrokeshire proverb. Eat an apple on going to bed, And you ll keep the doctor from earning his bread. A number of variants of the rhyme were in circulation around the turn of the 20th century. In 1913, Elizabeth Wright recorded a Devonian dialect version and also first known record of the version we use now, in Rustic Speech and Folk-lore: Ait a happle avore gwain to bed, An you ll make the doctor beg his bread or as the more popular version runs: An apple a day Keeps the doctor away. Apples have a good claim to promote health. They contain Vitamin C, which aid the immune system and phenols, which reduce cholesterol. They also reduce tooth decay by cleaning one s teeth and killing off bacteria. It has also been suggested by Cornell University researchers that the quercetin found in apples protects brain cells against neuro-degenerative disorders like Alzheimer s Disease.
