Feeling Tired? Try an Apple!

Do you find that you often have trouble staying alert during the day even if you have had a good night's rest?  Try munching on an apple!

Because of the high fiber content in apples, the fruit's natural sugars are slowly released into the blood stream, helping maintain steady blood sugar levels throughout your day.

Apples and apple juice are two of the best sources of the mineral boron, which

may promote bone health. Apples contain natural fruit sugars, mostly in the form of fructose. Apples are a rich source of phytonutrient (plant-based) antioxidants.

Apples also have a variety of other health benefits that supports the old adage "An apple a day will keep the doctor away!"
