Why does an apple a day keep the doctor away? seriously i want to know!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Old saying: This relates to an earlier time when access to healthy foods and health information was less easy and less probable. An apple has some vitamins and natural sugars that are a supplement to the bodily economy. Apples might have helped in the past and are still a good thing to eat. But probably in modern society will not affect overall health.
