An "Apple a Day" is a familiar phrase for a reason. Apples are a potent weapons against cancer. They are a rich source of a group of nutrients called phytochemicals which encompass thousands of plant compounds that have a positive effect on human health. One of those compounds is Quercetin which is found in the skin of the apple. Quercetin prevents oxidation to cholesterol and inhibits cancerous changes to cells. So carry an apple with you as an afternoon snack. It will help keep you hydrated, energized, and healthy!
