Apples, even dried apples, make for a healthy body, according to research from Florid State University.
This study randomly assigned 160 women ages 45-65 to one of two dietary intervention groups: one received dried apples daily (75g/day for 1 year) and the other group ate dried prunes every day for a year. Blood samples were taken at 3, 6 and 12-months. The results surprised Dr. Arjmandi, who stated that "incredible changes in the apple-eating women happened by 6 months- they experienced a 23% decrease in LDL cholesterol," which is known as the "bad cholesterol." The daily apple consumption also led to a lowering of lipid hydroperoxide levels.
These results go to show the value of cultural health knowledge. Early to bed and early to rise will probably do you well, as will taking head of all those sayings about how to treat your family, friends, neighbors, and strangers.
