I have always liked apples, but never really ate a lot of them until recently. For some reason this past year as a family we have really started to eat a lot of them. We have even convinced our boys that fruits such as apples and grapes are dessert. I would say that I eat at least 1 if not 2 apples a day, and my boys probably eat about 1 or 2 a day themselves. (Yes, we go through a lot of apples!). So this article really stood out to me.
WHY APPLES ARE SO HEALTHY

What exactly is it about this seemingly magical fruit that causes doctors and health experts from all around the world to advertise the health benefits of apples? Is it due solely to the high levels of nutritional content in apples?
We are now beginning to gain a better understanding of the vitamins found in apples, as well as the highly beneficial characteristics of the numerous compounds found in apples. Knowing why apples are good for you and your family will further encourage you to pursue them as a vital part of your family's diet.
Before we look at some of the many health benefits of apples, you may be wondering why you can't just take vitamins that contain the same nutrients as found in apples. That is a good question. It is better to eat apples than it is merely to take vitamins because it now appears that the many vitamins and minerals found in apples act together to provide you with more benefits than when taken alone. Simply put, the sum of an apple is more valuable than its individual vitamins and minerals. The health benefits of apples are:
Continued mental health... High levels of fiber... Reduced risk of heart disease and diabetes...
Weight loss and a reduction in asthma....

That is really cool. I am glad to know how good apples are for me and my family. Nicholas is actually currently eating an apple. He loves them. But apple juice makes him sick, so it is great that he can have the whole fruit (which is much more nutritious anyway). Shara should read this article. Apples are her favorite and she eats them all the time.
I agree, it is really cool. Apples are awesome. It's amazing how many benefits they offer us.
