An interesting article published in The Age on the first day of Spring.
Yuumm winter apples!!! 
The original super food! The apple contain essential nutrients such as Vitamin C & B-complex, dietary fibre, calcium and potassium.
It’s true “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
Some of the things that an apple does.
1. Controls insulin levels by releasing sugar slowly into the blood stream
2. Cleanses & detoxifies
3. Helps eliminate heavy metals such as lead & mercury
4. Reduces cholesterol levels
5. Helps prevent the formation of kidney stones
Most of the fibre & antioxidants are in the skin therefore you should eat organic apples which are wax free and have not been heavily sprayed with pesticides.
Have you had your apple today?
