Weight Loss Motivation – An Apple A Day
Does an apple per day actually keep the doctor away? I wonder if this old wives tale has some particle of truth hidden within it.
When dropping my HDL cholesterol level nearly 100 points, I credit the intake of pectin as having some influence with this remarkable change. Other factors also include taking Crestor-10 mg/daily, re-structuring my diet to organic foods, drinking larger amounts of water and brisk walking on the treadmill regularly.
Scientific evidence shows that fruits, like peaches, apples, currants and plums, are rich in pectin. Personally, I usually eat an apple around 5:00 pm each evening as my last snack of the day. Not only does this soluble fiber satisfy any hunger pangs, but I know that apple pectin is also effective in lowering cholesterol levels.
With all of the statistics pointing to a rising incidence of diabetes in the United States, it makes relative sense that an apple per day just might help keep the doctor away.
