An Apple a Day Alone Cannot Keep the Doctor away

A recent study in Canada has suggested that people are not eating enough quantities of fruits and vegetables. These gifts from the plants are supposed to offer protection against several diseases including heart disease, diabetes and stroke. This fact is more apparent with people in the lower strata of the economy. Cultural practices and living environment also plays a part. People living in and around farms consumed more of vegetables and fruits compared to the city dwellers. Thus, it is clear that an apple a day cannot keep the doctor away.
