All About Apples

October 18, 2015 by Refinery Fitness

Good Afternoon and Happy Sunday My Friends!

We are finally experiencing some Fall weather which always reminds me of Apple Season!

You guys have all heard the phrase ‘an apple a day keeps the doctor away,’ but do you believe it is true?  I can’t confirm that as an absolute truth but do love apples and all their health benefits!

I actually do have an apple a day because I think it is the perfect portable snack that is crunchy, sweet, and super satisfying.   I cut mine into slices, sprinkle with cinnamon and serve along with 1 tablespoon favorite nut butter.

Health Benefits of Apples

1) Loaded with Soluble Fiber- 4 grams per apple
2) Low-Calorie Snack- 1 medium apple = 70 to 100 calories
3) Loaded with the antioxidant- Quercetin which aids in endurance.
Try eating an apple before your workout for an added boost of endurance.
4) Great source of Vitamin C which helps boost immune system.
5) Prevents Tooth Decay-  Apples have properties that can kill up to 80% of bacteria.

We are in the thick of apple season so have fun and try a different Apple each day.  A few of my favorites are Granny Smith,  Honeycrisp, Jazz, Fuji, Envy and Pink Lady!

In Health and Happiness,
