Oxford University says eating an apple every day can keep a heart attack away. The researchers said if English people over 50 years old ate an apple every day, 8,500 fewer people would die from heart attacks and strokes. They said if all adults ate more fruit and vegetables every day, there would be 11,000 fewer deaths in England. Dr Adam Briggs explained that healthier eating can have big effects on our health. He said: "It just shows how effective small changes in diet can be, and that both drugs and healthier living can make a real difference in preventing heart disease and stroke."
The phrase "an apple a day keeps the doctor away" came into the English language over 100 years ago. People then knew that apples were good for us. Scientists in the 21st century still tell us the same thing. Apples help lower cholesterol in our bodies. Too much cholesterol can give us a heart attack. There are over 7,500 different kinds of apples. In 2010, we ate 69 million tons of the fruit. China grew nearly half of them. The USA grows around six per cent of the world's apples. People eat apples raw, or they bake them, stew them, and make sauces and cakes with them.
