A FEW MORE FACTS ABOUT APPLES... AND PUMPKIN

   

                  We all know APPLES  are an  excellent source of vitamin  "C".

                  APPLES may also protect the brain cells from the onset of Alzheimer's.

                  The pectin in apples help to lower LDL [the bad] cholesterol.

                   APPLES are also a bone strengthening fruit.

                   Whether you eat your APPLE sliced  with cheese cubes or dipped in

                   peanutbuttter, it is important to eat 1 or 2 every day.


                     PUMPKIN contains abundant quantities of good dietary fibre.

                    PUMPKIN,  as well as the seeds, is high in potassium,  magnesium,

                    vitamins "A"  and  "E". Beta Carotene and  lycopene are compounds of

                    vitamin "A", making  PUMPKIN a super food.

                     It  is possible PUMPKIN can lower the risk of some cancers.

                    PUMPKIN is high in nutrients yet is the flesh itself is low in calories.



                    That completes my post for today. Hope everyone had a great weekend

                     regardless of the weather---rain all weekend here in Maine.

  2. I don't eat enough apples but I enjoyed one today and it was crispy, juicy and delicious. I don't know why I don't eat them more often.
