Apples May Be Good for Alzheimer’s, too.
“An apple a day keeps the doctor away, “ was a saying when I was a child. So we ate raw apples in season, as well as applesauce, canned stewed apples, and apple desserts throughout the year.
I often take an apple in my lunch and have always enjoyed them. My dad raised apples, a sideline on our dairy farm.
Researchers now conclude that apples, along with bananas and oranges, may help with neurological diseases, including Alzheimers. This information came out in a report today, Consumption of Fruits May Reduce the Risk of Alzheimer’s Disease..
A new study in the Journal of Food Science explores the additional health benefits of these fruits and reveals they also protect against neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s Disease.
Apples ranked first, followed by bananas, then oranges as containing the highest amount of protective antioxidents.

This is important information, I think, for everyone to know. The power of good nutrition is truly amazing, and a healthy diet can do wonders for prevention of certain disorders.

Like Gochi said, good nutrition, particularly lifelong good nutrition starting during fetal development and continuing through childhood into adulthood, prevents a world of problems. Thanks for the reminder to keep the fruit intake up!
