Apple!!!

I just read this article..

"The proverb "An apple a day keeps the doctor away," addresses the health effects of the fruit. Though this adage was likely the result of farmers encouraging higher sales of produce in an effort to counteract the belief that it was an apple that was the forbidden fruit which Adam and Eve ate,[citation needed] research suggests that apples may reduce the risk of colon cancer, prostate cancer and lung cancer. Compared to many other fruits and vegetables, apples contain relatively low amounts of Vitamin C as well as several other antioxidant compounds. The fiber content, while less than in most other fruits, helps regulate bowel movements and may thus reduce the risk of colon cancer. They may also help with heart disease, weight loss and controlling cholesterol, as they do not have any cholesterol, have fiber, which reduces cholesterol by preventing reabsorption, and are bulky for their caloric content like most fruits and vegetables."

Every morning, i always have a breakfast with an apple and a glass of water. n thats it. i guess is a healthy way but cm x je..hehe..anyway, just want to encourage my friend to take an apple..or buy it at the supermarket..so that i can take yours when i come..hehe..love apple!!!
