The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1967-01-12, Page 8The belief "An apple a day keeps the doctor away," isn't at all a new one. Three hundred years ago, in England, they used to rhyme "Eat an apple before going to bed, make the doctor beg for his bread," No one believes that an apple is a cure-all. It can't mend broken bones, pulled tendons or a matched set of black eyes, But, eating fresh apples improves digestion in many cases, They have been used successfully in experimental diets to relieve high blood pressure. Apples are low in sodium, fat and calories. A medium apple, 2 1/2 inches in diameter, provides 66 calories. Munching raw apples firms gums, "brushes" the teeth. It's not hard to sense that one feels better for regular apple eating. That's why the apple has figured so importantly in legends and mythology as a promoter of long life, Solomon sang "Comfort me with apples." Beautiful Venus loved apples and so, of course, did Eve. Canadians eat some 15,327,000 bushels of fresh apples every year. Millions of pounds are tucked away in efficient storage for the coming months. Eat lots of apples as a desirable part of a good diet, Use apples in all kinds of good dishes such as deep dish apple cake.
