Benefits of Eating Apples
By Diane Dembicki, Ph.D., College of Nursing and Public Health
What is juicy, crisp, and sweet? Our Food of the Month: Apples
Ever have a Pink Lady? That’s a variety of apple (see video linked below). Apples are in season now—the best time to eat them fresh—so visit your local farmer’s market, or better yet visit a local farm and enjoy the fresh air and exercise while picking them yourself. Why does “an apple a day keep the doctor away”? Maybe it’s the fiber and antioxidants.
It is the No. 3 listed food on Tufts University Health & Nutrition Letter “51 Healthy Foods you Can Say ‘Yes’ To“.
View this mouth-watering video about variety, storage and cooking apples, along with some healthy recipes from Cooking Light magazine.
