I was doing some research online for an apple trivia game that I'm playing at a party this weekend. Here are some apple facts:
An Apple A Day…
Apples are about 85% water and contain a variety of essential minerals and vitamins. They’re about 12% natural sugar or fructose, a water-soluble sugar found in all ripe fruit. Because of the solubility of fructose, the body does not have to convert it into sugar before use, therefore, making apples a source of instant energy.
Apples are a high source of pectin, a soluble fiber that can absorb more water than any other bulking agent and help clean the digestive system. Eating an apple also cleans the
teeth and massages the gums, removing more bacteria than two, three-minute brushings followed by a gargle.
Scientists have proven that apple eaters have fewer headaches, intestinal disorders, colds, respiratory problems and illness associated with the nervous system.
I'm glad that I like apples!
