An apple a day is not that hard to come by in the Midwest in September. Everyone has their favorite varietal. My son, Henry and I battle over the almighty Honeycrisp. But did you know these obscure apple facts?
Apples:
- protect lungs from cigarette smoke.
- stimulate appetite.
- remedy indigestion (due in part to malic & tartaric acids which inhabit the growth of ferments and disease-producing bacteria in the digestive tract).
- contain pectin which removes cholesterol, toxic metals such as lead and mercury, and the residues of radiation.
- help relieve swelling and irritations such as sunburn or pink-eye when grated and placed over the eyes for 20 minutes.
- and their juice are cleansing and beneficial to the gallbladder, actually softening gallstones.
