An Apple a day.....

this time of year,grocery bins are brimming with ripe apples,each one offering about 5 grams of cholesterol-lowering fiber---20 percent of your recommended daily minimum.a recent USDA- funded study at
Florida State University found that women who ate apples daily reduced their LDL(bad)cholesterol by more than 40 percent in six months.other studies suggest apples can fire your metabolism,enhancing weight loss,and even prevent some cancers.

"The old saying about apples keeping the doctor away holds some truth,"
Try different apple varieties and colors.each one packs a unique set of disease-fighting antioxidants.

to make this autumn fav.work for you,eat,yes,one a day-about 100calories-and incorporate them into your cooking.
