MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Is the old phrase “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” true?

We’ve all heard it or said it over the years… “an apple a day keeps the doctor away”. But how true is that really?

Pretty true actually. Eating an apple each day can help keep you away from negative doctor visits at least. Apples have been known to reduce levels of bad cholesterol to keep your heart healthy. They also give your body more energy if you’re feeling tired in the afternoon and don’t want the caffeine crash.

So next time someone says this to you, they are kinda right.
