An Apple A Day

.....keeps the Doctor away.....

It's old news, I know. But new research keeps coming out to explain WHY and how apples are good for you. The most nutritious and high fiber part of the apple is: the skin. Apple consumption has been shown to fight cancer, aid digestion, reduce asthma in children when pregnant mothers eat apples, and decrease risk of lung cancer, heart disease and stroke.

How long has it been since you ate an apple? (Me: weeks...)

A little bit off topic, but... what's with the suggestive angle of this photo?

Sex sells. And if it sells apples, so be it, I guess. I just had one for lunch today.

God, that picture is cute as hell!

Hey, I'm doing something right, yay. I eat at least three or four apples a week, even more if I'm on a "good" week. Woo!

I have a complete apple addiction. I eat one almost every day, sometimes two, and it has to be organic because the skin is RUINED on conventional apples with all that wax and shit. I still miss the apple orchards of my hometown in Yakima, WA. I never understood people who peeled their apples. WEIRD!

I'm going to eat one RIGHT NOW!
