An Apple a day keeps the doctor away!

Sure you know this, but do you eat it?Apples are the second most commonly eaten fresh fruit, after bananas, and they are also used in the second most popular juice, after oranges. But apples are also one of the most pesticide-contaminated fruits and vegetables. The good news is that organic apples are easy to find in regular grocery stores.                                                          

Then you should choose an organic one, grown on healthy balanced soil, untreated with herbicides, fungicides, toxic insecticides and later with preservatives and conservants.

Apples are a good source of antioxidants (such as Vitamin C), dietary fibers (pectin) and they also have a negative PRAL figure meaning they have an alkalizing effect on the body ; detailed figures in the PRAL and ORAC listings at www.enjoyvity.com.                            

Ripe apples with their skin, that is why you need the organically grown ones and without preservatives, hold those so needed enzymes. Chewing well on an apple every day will not only improve your mouths hygiene and bowel functions, but brings you whole-body health benefits.

Protect Your Full Spectrum of Life

"Organic," for the record, means food grown without most conventional pesticides or fertilizers made with synthetic ingredients, according to the US Department of Agriculture's website (usda.gov).

Avoid The Worst Offenders

If you can't afford a complete conversion to organic, you need to identify those categories of food where you'll receive the greatest benefit. For example, consider buying only the fruits and vegetables found to be the least contaminated. A group called The Environmental Working Group reviewed more than 100,000 tests performed by the USDA and found that the following fruits and vegetables consistently showed the highest levels of toxic chemicals on and in them. This doesn't mean not to eat them; it means to buy this produce in organic whenever you can or pass them up for something different.

Listed in order from most to least toxic, the following list contains the produce you want to avoid or substitute if organic is not available:

1. peaches
2. strawberries
3. apples
4. spinach
5. nectarines
6. celery
7. pears
8. cherries
9. potatoes
10. bell peppers

Here are the least toxic according to USDA testing.

1. avocados
2. pineapples
3. cauliflower
4. mangoes
5. sweet peas
6. asparagus
7. onions
8. broccoli
9. bananas
10. garlic 

A little help: eating an organic, locally-grown, consciously-harvested apple gives you not only nourishment and biochemical nutrition; it also gives you the positive energy of abundance, humility, harmony and happiness.

The Secret: a major reason why the old saying about eating "an apple a day" has been associated with good health may be ‘Quercetin’. Primarily found in apples, onions, and black tea  Quercetin belongs to a group of plant pigment flavonoids that serve as a building block for other members of the flavonoid family. It combats the destructive "free radical" molecules that play a part in many diseases.

It will remain a secret where already Adam got that apple from but archeologists have found evidence that humans have been enjoying apples since at least 6500 B.C..
