Five Reasons to Eat an Apple Every Day

	Your Diet - Apples are the perfect, portable snack: great tasting, energy-boosting, and fat-free.
	Your Heart - Research confirms it ! The antioxidant nutrients found in apples help fight the damaging effects of LDL (bad) cholesterol.
	Your Digestion - Just one apple provides as much dietary fiber as a serving of bran cereal. That's about one-fifth of the recommended daily intake of fiber.
	Your Lungs - An apple a day strengthens lung function and can lower the incidence of lung cancer.
	Your Bones - Apples contain the essential trace element boron, which has been shown to strengthen bones - a good defense against osteoporosis.
