Some thoughts, mainly random rantings. I was 23 when I started this blog, and as time goes on some thoughts will remain the same, some views may change when I am no longer the observer but actually the performer, in this play that is life. These thoughts simply reflect a bit of the chaos that plays through my mind every day as I take a moment to observe the little details that I encounter along my path.

An apple a day

An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
Now how many of you know this idiom but still doesn't know what it means? Well lets start off by looking at the nutrient content in an apple. An apple is a great source of water, carbohydrates,fiber, protein, minerals,Vits. A, B, & C, iron, and potassium. C'mon people you just can't go wrong there look at the nutrients, compare that to a bag of potato chips. An apple has more fiber content than most hot or cold cereals so imagine getting a serving of dietary fiber every day in that one apple. Many people lack dietary fiber in their diet and this leads to other health problems. If one wants to maintain their cholesterol level why not try an apple first before going to prescription drugs, since it has dietary fiber. I am sure that mister apple has less side effects:D

you know having enough fiber in your diet helps maintain your sanity. As they say, there are two types of people in this world, those who can go and then the poor souls who can't. But we'll save that philosophy for another post:D
so folks an apple a day can sure as hell keep the doctor away and for the other serving of fruit that is recommended why not try a handful of berries , most of them are loaded with fiber and antioxidants.

still not convinced then try this for your reading pleasure

Note: If eating an apple scares you, take the apple cut it into bite size pieces and eat the pieces as you would grapes or cherries...its the same strategy as cutting a sandwich into little pieces for kids , I am sure that it would not kill ya.
