Bold claims out of Oxford University in Great Britain recently assert that there may be something to the old rhyme of “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.”
Not only will it save lives, it can actually eliminate the need for statins and other cardiovascular drugs. But there is a catch.
Researchers at Oxford University’s British Heart Foundation Health Promotion Research Group concluded from a recent study that eating apples isn’t just a healthy choice to include in your diet every day- it may actually save your life.
In their bold claims, researchers suggested that in the UK alone, at least 8,500 deaths from heart attacks and stroke could be avoided annually if everyone over the age of 50 would just start eating apples. Including one additional serving of fresh fruit or vegetable hiked the number of possible lives saved to over 11,000.
In their research, the scientists looked at the benefits provided by apples, and found that they can produce very similar effects to the most widely prescribed statin drugs, but without the risk of dangerous side effects like liver disease and some cancers.
Their work was based upon studies of health records of over 100,000 patients, finding comparable stroke and heart attack mitigation to the most widely prescribed drugs, without any of the risk of side effects.
The only problem, say researchers, is compliance. For some reason, it is still easier for many people to pop a handful of pills every day AND suffer all the ravaging side effects than to eat one additional piece of fruit a day.

There are numerous health advantages of having an apple a day. I recommend my patients to take an apple before retiring to bed every day. It really works, aids digestion, detoxifies system, cleanses blood, aids sleep, no frequent urination urination, less snoring, and possibly dissolves the forming clots, early morning BP some how it better. Prof Dr PR Goyal
All the articles are very informative and helpful, not only for the patients but for Specialists like us. However I would recommend that your write ups should be given to a select few specialists free so that after going through them as a part of your panel could add their experiences to your research and also advise their colleagues to procure the same from you
Ur site is giving useful information.
My heartful thanks.
Thank you for your kindness and help so we can have good health by correcting our mistakes in ignorantly eating the wrong food as well as wrong portions which have caused heart trouble and specially type 2 diabetes.
I will definitely eat more apples after reading what Dr. GOYAL has said above. Do you have anything to get rid of Hpyroli? Please do let me know anything in nature that can get rid of it permanently. Thanks Deborah .
THE APPLE MUST BE ORGANIC. HAVE YOU NOTICED THAT APPLES IN GROCERY STORES ARE ALL PERFECT IN SHAPE AND COLOR? THAT IS NOT NATURAL. THEY ARE GMO's AND HAVE BEEN FOR A LONG TIME. MORE THEN ONE OUTSTANDING ON LINE MD AND ND HAVE LISTS OF THE WORST VEGS AND FRUITS. APPLES ARE NUMBER ONE ON ALL THE LISTS. I GREW UP WITH FRUIT TREES IN THE YARD. THE APPLES ALL LOOKED DIFFERENT..
I am 94 and been eating apples all my life. Sometimes 2 instead of one. 2 should keep 2 doctors away and I believe it does.
Al.
Is it necessary to eat the peel to get the benefits as WebMD says?
Apart from the GMO likelihood what about the high sugar content for diabetics and the preservatives? I have even heard about the use of formaldehyde . After washing the apples I buy I still feel some underlying greasy stuff, and the nutrient label says 25 gms of sugar per small apple.
EXCELLANT POINTS, PATRICK. I AM AN ND AND A RETIRED ICU, ER RN. I HAVE TREATED DIABETICS WITH DANGEROUS HIGH GLUCOUS LEVELS WHO THOUGHT THEY COULD EAT LARGE AMOUNTS OF ANYTHING AS LONG AS IT WAS NOT ‘SUGAR’. THE AVERAGE INTAKE OF CARBS PER DAY SHOULD NOT EXCEED 250 GMS. THE “UNDERLYING GREASY STUFF” COULD BE WAX. STORES SPRAY APPLES WITH WAX TO MAKE THEM SHINE.
I have always had an apple most days I always have them available for family and friends
