An Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away!

On September 29th we went to the garden to do apple picking. Apples are a healthy food that people consume every day in their diets. They contain a high amount of fiber and vitamin C which can help with your digestive system and your immune system. The fiber in the apple cleanses and removes food through the digestive tract. Also, apples contain no fat or cholesterol and no fat at all. They also may help with preventing cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes. The skin of the apple provides many nutrients and antioxidants. Eating apples can also assist in weight management, bone health, and pulmonary function. However, apples are acidic and can lead to damaging of the tooth enamel. Apples are grown in every single state in the United States. They also come in shades of red, green, and yellow. The different types of apples are Red Delicious, Gold Delicious, Fuji, Gala, Empire, Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, Macintosh, and many more.
