Apples.
Do they really keep the doctor away?
Is
there any truth to the old saying, An
apple a day keeps the doctor away?
Well in fact there is.
Apples
are high in vitamins C and E, vitamins with
antioxidant properties. However, these vitamins
only make up a small proportion of the antioxidants
in apples. Apples are also high in phytochemicals
such as flavonoids and polyphenols, which
reduce oxidation.

the health properties of apples, click
