Yes, it’s autumn. And that means apple season. We are blessed in Colorado to have several apple growers and nothing tastes better than a fresh, crisp tree-ripened apple.
Did you know this about apples?
- They are so packed with fiber that you get nearly 20% of your daily dietary needs in one medium apple.
- They require you to chew and chew and chew which allows your body to feel full before eating too many calories.
- The natural fruit sugars in an apple gradually enter your bloodstream keeping blood sugars and insulin levels balanced so you don’t experience hunger highs and lows.
The apple offers many health benefits and I challenge you to go beyond an “apple-a-day” and eat three or four or even five apples during this Fall Season. Help your body prepare for the heavier foods of winter with the gentle internal cleansing that apples provide.
