The Curious: (Must Read) How the phrase "An Apple a day keeps your Doctor away" came to be.

by Olabajo Oluwatobiloba  |  in talkabout at  11:08 pm

Wow. Am also orientated. I don't know how this word came to be. Wow, my blog tbthealth orientated me, I bet it would to you too. Following the today-begined Fruit talkabout which has Apple as its cost today, we would be orientating you and also satisfying your curiosity on how the phrase first came to be, when it was first used, who said it, why Did he say it, and the original phrase.Apples have long been associated with a healthful diet. The fruit is low in calories and sodium, and high in fiber and Vitamin C.
But just how long ago did humans coin the adage “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”?
“It sounds as if it should be really old, but in fact the first recorded use is in the 1860s, when it is said to be an old saying from Pembrokeshire in Wales,” said Caroline Taggart, author of “ An Apple a Day: Old- Fashioned Proverbs and Why They Still Work. The original phrase, Taggart said, was, ‘‘Eat an apple on going to bed, and you’ll keep the doctor from earning his bread. In the 19th century and early 20th, the phrase evolved to “an apple a day, no doctor to pay” and “an apple a days sends the doctor away,” while the phrasing now commonly used was first recorded in 1922.
Although the term is fairly new, Taggart said, the concept is quite old. Ancient Romans and Anglo-Saxons, she said, knew about the healthful properties of apples. The fruit also pops up in traditional Ayurvedic medicine, dating back about 1,500 years in southern Asia.
The popularity of the phrase has not been lost on modern science, either. Researchers and doctors have conducted numerous studies on the health benefits of apples — exploring whether they can actually reduce trips to the doctor.
In 2012, an Ohio State University study found that eating an apple a day helped significantly lower levels of bad cholesterol in middle-aged adults, and in 2011 a Dutch study found that eating apples and pears might help prevent strokes.
The longevity of the phrase “an apple a day,”
Taggart explained, comes from its simplicity.

Research: Eating Apples daily can boost the woman Libido(Sex urge).

by Olabajo Oluwatobiloba  |  in urge at  10:32 pm

Apples, one of the sweetest fruit, as we know An Apple a day make your doctor go on hunger strike, but the tree-grown fruit not only does that but also improve your libido
Apples can improve levels of sexual arousal in women, experts have discovered.
A study, published in the Archives of
Gynecology and Obstetrics, looked at the sex lives of 731 Italian women and found those who ate between one and two apples a day had better sex lives.
The women, aged 18 to 43, were separated into two sections - one group who never ate apples and another that munched between one and two apples a day.
Researchers asked the women - with no other sexual problems - to complete a Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) questionnaire measuring sexual function, sexual frequency, orgasm, lubrication and overall sexual satisfaction. The results showed "daily apple use is associated with higher FSFI scores in sexually active female patients , thus increasing their lubrication and overall sexual function."
One reason researchers pointed to, according to the Huffington Post, was that apples contain polyphenols and antioxidants - like red wine and chocolate - which can stimulate blood flow to the genitalia and vagina, boosting arousal.
Apples are also high in phloridzin, which is structurally similar to the female sex hormone estradiol, which plays a huge role in vaginal lubrication and female sexuality.
So there we go ladies, an apple a day won't just keep the doctor away after all but will also make you superb always.

Fruit TalkAbout: Why you should eat Apples.

by Olabajo Oluwatobiloba  |  in talkabout at  12:24 pm

The Fruit TalkAbout: Its Apple for today.
Why is one of the most Sweetened fruit, Apple good for you?
- Get whiter, healthier teeth
An apple won’t replace your toothbrush, but biting and chewing an apple stimulates the production of saliva in your mouth, reducing tooth decay by lowering the levels of bacteria.
- Prevent against Alzheimer’s
A new study performed on mice shows that drinking apple juice could keep Alzheimer’s away and fight the effects of aging on the brain . Mice in the study that were fed an apple-enhanced diet showed higher levels of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and did better in maze tests than those on a regular diet.
- Protect against Parkinson’s
Research has shown that people who eat fruits and other high-fibre foods gain a certain amount of protection against Parkinson’s , a disease characterized by a breakdown of the
brain’s dopamine-producing nerve cells.
Scientists have linked this to the free radical-fighting power of the antioxidants contained therein.
- Curb all sorts of cancers
Scientists from the American Association for Cancer Research, among others, agree that the consumption of flavonol-rich apples could help reduce your risk of developing pancreatic cancer by up to 23 per cent . Researchers at Cornell University have identified several compounds—triterpenoids—in apple peel that have potent anti-growth activities against cancer cells in the liver, colon and breast.
Their earlier research found that extracts from whole apples can reduce the number and size of mammary tumours in rats. Meanwhile, the National Cancer Institute in the U.S. has recommended a high fibre intake to reduce the risk of colorectal cancer.
- Decrease your risk of diabetes
Women who eat at least one apple a day are 28 percent less likely to develop type 2 diabetes than those who don’t eat apples. Apples are loaded with soluble fibre, the key to blunting blood sugar swings.
- Reduce cholesterol
The soluble fibre found in apples binds with fats in the intestine, which translates into lower cholesterol levels and a healthier you.
- Get a healthier heart
An extensive body of research has linked high soluble fibre intake with a slower buildup of cholesterol-rich plaque in your arteries. The phenolic compound found in apple skins also prevents the cholesterol that gets into your system from solidifying on your artery walls.
When plaque builds inside your arteries, it reduces blood flow to your heart, leading to coronary artery disease.
- Prevent gallstones
Gallstones form when there’s too much cholesterol in your bile for it to remain as a liquid, so it solidifies. They are particularly prevalent in the obese. To prevent gallstones, doctors recommend a diet high in fibre to help you control your weight and cholesterol levels.
- Beat diarrhea and constipation
Whether you can’t go to the bathroom or you just can’t stop, fibre found in apples can help.
Fibre can either pull water out of your colon to keep things moving along when you’re backed up, or absorb excess water from your stool to slow your bowels down.
- Neutralize irritable bowel syndrome Irritable bowel syndrome is characterized by constipation, diarrhea, and abdominal pain and bloating. To control these symptoms doctors recommend staying away from dairy and fatty foods while including a high intake of fibre in your diet.
- Avert hemorrhoids
Hemorrhoids are a swollen vein in the anal canal and while not life threatening, these veins can be very painful. They are caused by too much pressure in the pelvic and rectal areas. Part and parcel with controlling constipation, fibre can prevent you from straining too much when going to the bathroom and thereby help alleviate hemorrhoids.
- Control your weight
Many health problems are associated with being overweight, among them heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and sleep apnea. To manage your weight and improve your overall health, doctors recommend a diet rich in fibre. Foods high in fibre will fill you up without costing you too many calories.
- Detoxify your liver
We’re constantly consuming toxins, whether it is from drinks or food, and your liver is responsible for clearing these toxins out of your body. Many doctors are skeptical of fad detox diets, saying they have the potential to do more harm than good. Luckily, one of the best—and easiest—things you can eat to help detoxify your liver is fruits—like apples.
- Boost your immune system
Red apples contain an antioxidant called quercetin. Recent studies have found that quercetin can help boost and fortify your immune system, especially when you're stressed out.
- Prevent cataracts
Though past studies have been divided on the issue, recent long-term studies suggest that people who have a diet rich in fruits that contain antioxidants—like apples—are 10 to 15 per cent less likely to develop cataracts.

Fruit(A-Z) TalkAbout: Apple(A) Origin and brief history.

by Olabajo Oluwatobiloba  |  in talkabout at  11:10 am

The Fruit(A-Z) talkabout has started. We would update you massively on All fruits in the World alphabetically. As we know, Letter A is the first alphabet. And The Apple is the first fruit.
Start...
The apple tree (Malus domestica) is a deciduous tree in the rose family best known for its sweet, pomaceous fruit, the apple. It is cultivated worldwide as a fruit tree, and is the most widely grown species in the genus Malus . The tree originated in Central Asia,  where its wild ancestor, Malus sieversii , is still found today. Apples have been grown for thousands of years in Asia and Europe, and were brought to North America by European colonists. Apples have religious and mythological significance in many cultures, including Norse, Greek and European Christian traditions.
Apple trees are large if grown from seed, but small if grafted onto roots (rootstock). There are more than 7,500 known cultivars of apples , resulting in a range of desired characteristics. Different cultivars are bred for various tastes and uses, including cooking , eating raw and cider production . Apples are generally propagated by grafting, although wild apples grow readily from seed. Trees and fruit are prone to a number of fungal , bacterial and pest problems, which can be controlled by a number of organic and non-organic means.
In 2010, the fruit's genome was decoded as part of research on disease control and selective breeding in apple production.
About 69 million tons of apples were grown worldwide in 2010, and China produced almost half of this total. The United States is the second-leading producer, with more than 6% of world production. Turkey is third, followed by Italy , India and Poland. Apples are often eaten raw, but can also be found in many prepared foods (especially desserts) and drinks. Many beneficial health effects are
thought to result from eating apples; however, two types of allergies are attributed to various proteins found in the fruit.

Guess you got to know how the Apple came to be. This china are the second .... I really want to visit China. Rice, silk was from China.

Healthy life: Why you need to take an Apple often - Benefits

by Olabajo Oluwatobiloba  |  in fruits at  2:32 pm

I like this fruit so much
‘An apple a day keeps the doctor away!’
Whoever came up with that saying wasn’t kidding. Apples are packed with a store house of vitamins and nutrients, which can enhance your immune system and ward off diseases – that means your visits to the doctor will be drastically cut down! Apples come in different
varieties, the most common of which include the Granny Smith, Red Delicious, Golden Delicious and the McIntosh Apple. Apples have a distinct rosy scent because they
belong to the rose family of plants,
‘Rosaceae.’
Health Benefits of Apples
Nutrients Found in Apples
Since apple is a fruit, it is packed with numerous vitamins and minerals that contribute to a healthy immune system.
Apples contain plenty of anti-oxidants like flavonoids and polyphenols, which are useful
in the body for guarding it against various toxic substances and disease-causing germs.
It is an excellent source of B-complex
vitamins for example;
a) Thiamine: for maintaining healthy mental and cardiovascular functioning,
b) Riboflavin: for energy production and maintenance of a strong immune system and
c) Pyridoxine: useful in treating heart disease, seizures, diabetes.
It is loaded in anti-oxidants like vitamin C; which helps protect the body giving it immunity against harmful bacteria and viruses, and beta carotene that has anti-cancer and anti-cholesterol properties.
The major minerals included in apples are:
a) Potassium: that prevents the bad effects of sodium in the body and helps control blood pressure,
b) Calcium: essential for strong bones and teeth, and
c) Phosphorous: important for cell repair, hormone balance and protein formation. It is also very rich in dietary fiber called pectin that helps burn fats and promotes regular bowel movement.
Health Benefits of Apples:
Anti-cancer and Anti-cholesterol
Source: Apple Varieties - Granny Smith Apples
Health Benefits of Apples
The health benefits of apples include;
1. Anti-cancer. An apple a day or two has potent anti-cancer abilities that safeguard the body from those life-sucking cancerous. By sticking onto the cancer causing substances that may be found in the colon, the dietary
fibers found in apples shield the mucous membranes lining the colon from exposure to toxins and poisonous chemical. Apple peels
are also very nutritious as there may be cancer-blocking compounds within them.
Research shows that the major compounds found in red delicious apple peels battle further growth of cancerous cells in lung, colon cancer and breast cancer. So next time
you want to toss those peels in the garbage, think of the nutritious value in them.
2. Anti-cholesterol.
Apples are high in soluble fiber called pectin that can help constrain cholesterol levels in the body. The fiber does this by helping prevent the absorption of LDL cholesterol.
LDL, also known as low-density lipoprotein, is the bad kind of cholesterol- the villain that clogs arteries and culminates cardiovascular disease. What helps eliminate this bad cholesterol is the good cholesterol, HDL- high-density lipoprotein, which engulfs LDL
and then transports it to the liver to be eradicated. Eating apples.contributes to the destruction of bad cholesterol, creation of good cholesterol in the blood stream, and
leading to an overall healthy heart.
Health Benefits of Apples: Boosts Immunity and Enhances Brain Power

3. Boosts Immunity. Apples are one of the foods that boost immunity because they contain a significant amount of anti-oxidants like and vitamins like vitamin C and beta
carotene. Vitamin C is very important in the body for building up the body’s natural defense against harmful substances like disease-causing germs.The soluble fiber in apples also helps boost immunity because it
has anti-inflammatory properties that help convert pro-inflammatory free radicals into healing anti-inflammatory cells – and these
altered cells help fight off heart disease and diabetes, which are some of the inflammatory conditions affecting certain body organs.
4. Enhancing Brain power. Did you know that apples contain Boron, a potent mineral which is found in fruits and nuts? Since it is known
to affect the nervous electrical activity of the brain, it is known to be a great brainpower food. It stimulates brain cells helping in
maintaining healthy well-functioning nerve cells. A couple of apples may give you the benefit of 1 milligram of boron, which is a substantial amount for effective functioning of your brain cells, helps you stay alert and
improves brain power. Throw in fresh apple slices with a few healthy nuts and enjoy a nutritious brain-boosting snack.
Health Benefits of Apples: Preventing
Alzheimer's and Averting Asthma

5. Preventing Alzheimer’s. Alzheimer’s is a brain disease that is the most common form of dementia. It performs irreversible damage on nerve cells in the brain leading to memory impairment and loss of intellectual capabilities. An important flavonoid found in apples, quercetin, may help protect the brain cells from oxidation damage caused by free radicals, that may cause serious brain injuries and lead to Alzheimer’s.
Beta amyloid is a fibrous protein that steadily accumulates in the brain tissues of people suffering from Alzheimer’s. Research shows that apple juice can actually interfere with the production of this detrimental protein, thereby impeding the onset of this form of dementia.
Eating at least two apples a day can cut down the risks of getting Alzheimer’s.
6. Averting Asthma.
Phytochemicals and polyphenols-chemicals that may safeguard healthy cells from damage, contained in apples have healing
properties that help in recovering asthma, breathing problems and the general functioning of the lungs. They may help also help relieve inflamed airways. Research shows
that children who consumed apple juice regularly reduced the risks of suffering from asthma attacks and wheezing problems as compared to those who seldom consumed apple juice. In contrast, eating whole apples didn’t seem to be of any benefit to wheezing and asthmatic children.
Health Benefits of Apples: A Healthy Heart and Weight Loss

7. Health benefits of apples: A healthy heart.
Eating apples have been proven has very healthy for the heart as they contain anti-inflammatory properties that help heal the inflamed artery walls. The photochemical, quercetin also helps prevent blood clots.
Apples have anti-cholesterol properties that help eliminate the yellow fatty plaque that clogs the arteries and fight off the bad
cholesterol that stick to the arteries and prevent proper blood circulation through the heart. Toss a few fresh apple slices to your healthy fruit salad for a delightful decrease in
your cholesterol levels.
8. Health benefits of apples: Weight Loss.
Apples contain very low calories and have absolutely no saturated fat or cholesterol, in fact, one medium sized apple only contains about 80 calories. The calories used in breaking down the fiber from the apples are more than the actual amount of calories in apples. This means that the calories in apples
provide energy in helping break down the apple fiber and thus get used up without ending up being converted to fats and stored in your body. The rich dietary fiber in apples also helps prevent overweight. How? The fiber
keeps you feeling full for a longer time so that you may keep your mind away from food.
Apples also contain low sodium which is important in weight control because eating foods less in sodium will help prevent water weight. Low sodium helps expel water out of
the body, leading to temporary weight loss.
So, next time you feel like having a snack, why not grab the fruit bowl and crunch on a couple of apples?
Health Benefits of Apples: Prevention of Diabetes and Eases Digestion

9. Health benefits of apples: Diabetes. Another
one of the health benefits of apples is that it helps fight off oxygen-free radicals that actually cause diabetes. The anti-oxidants, also known as chemicals that neutralize destructive oxygen free radicals, in apples aid
in eradicating the cell-damaging free radicals that wipe out healthy cells. The high soluble fiber, pectin in apples help in controlling blood
sugar levels in the body by helping the sugar into the blood stream at a slow rate. Further, the soluble fiber has anti-inflammatory properties that alter oxygen free radicals, responsible for inflammations, into anti-inflammatory cells that may relieve and help people with diabetes type II build up immunity against infectious conditions.
10. Health benefits of apples: Eases Digestion.
The fiber in apples may also relieve irritable bowel syndrome in some people. The common symptoms of Irritable Bowel syndrome are diarrhea, bloating and constipation. These can be thwarted by eating foods rich in fiber.
Apples are rich in dietary fiber, and this fiber helps in preventing constipation by softening stool by drawing water from the intestines
thereby easing bowel movements. Apples also aid in slowing down diarrhea by sucking up excess water from the stool.
Health Benefits of Apples
There are many more health benefits of apples but the top ten benefits have been described above. Remember an apple a day keeps the
doctor away. These health benefits of apples have been proved by numerous scientific studies.

Lol. My hand is paining me o. The benefits just too much. I love it.
"One apple a day makes your doctor broke and begs for bread.
