The phrase can be traced back to 1866, when Notes and Queries magazine published the first-known example of the proverb: “Eat an apple on going to bed, And you'll keep the doctor from earning his bread." The saying is true because apples are loaded with a bundle of nutrients including vitamin C, fiber and potassium.
An apple is a crunchy, bright-colored fruit, one of the most popular in the United States. Apples are rich in fiber and antioxidants. Eating them is linked to a lower risk of many chronic conditions, including diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. Research shows they provide many health benefits, such as reducing the risk of diabetes.
Apples may also promote weight loss and improve gut and brain health. Apples are highly rich in carbohydrates that can provide the person with a burst of energy, which makes apples a perfect pre-workout snack. Apples also make him feel happy as it helps release 'feel-good' neurotransmitters like serotonin.
There are many varieties, including: Red Delicious, McIntosh, Crispin, Gala, Granny Smith, Fuji, Honeycrisp
On an average, a person can have one to two apples in a day. As per studies, apple should be eaten in the morning hours. This is because apples are rich in dietary fiber, pectin, which is found in its peel. Since most people have digestive issues due to improper sleep or late eating habits, apples right in the morning, after waking up is a good idea.
