Fall is also apple season. Apples offer us about 5 grams of fiber which helps lower our cholesterol. Some studies show that apples can help us fight colds, lower our weight, increase our metabolism, and prevent some cancers. They are full of antioxicants and only contain about 100 calories.
I think I'm going to head out to the grocery and stock up on a bunch of apples.
This is a true story. Please remember, I'm a native Texan and travel very little. I was grocery shopping, got lost in my head browsing through an unfamiliar store while waiting for my friend and spotted a bin of the biggest apples I have ever seen in my life.
ReplyDeleteThey were the size of small melons and I thought "Oh wow, those must be Washington state apples!"
Then I remembered I was IN Washington state. Forks, Washington to be exact (The home of the Twilight series.) Talk about feeling like an idiot =)
Hmm, I'm suddenly craving apples. I love this time of year when they're fresh picked. :)
ReplyDeleteI bet those Washington state apples really are good in Washington.
ReplyDeleteI bought some apples today, but might try to make it to a local orchard next weekend.
Yay for apples! :o)
