An Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away


We all know the saying, "an apple a day keeps the doctor away." This may prove true after research done by University of Oxford suggests that eating an apple once a day may be just as beneficial as daily statin use when it comes to preventing vascular deaths in individuals over the age of 50.


Statin is class of medicine that is used to lower blood cholesterol levels by blocking HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme that controls cholesterol production in the liver. High cholesterol levels can lead to plaques build up in arteries and decrease blood flow leading to heart attack and stroke.

According to the study, statin decrease vascular deaths by 9,400 in 17.6 million people who are taking statin, while in those who eat an apple a day, the number of vascular death decreased by 8,500 in 22 million people. If side effects of statin are taking into consideration, both statin and apple almost have same results.

This doesn’t mean that apple should substitute statin, but if we change our lifestyle by exercising, eating healthy food, vegetables and fruits including apples, then we are reducing the risk of heart and vascular diseases.

  1. This very interesting topic.I find this interesting because it talks about how medicine isn't always the best option. An apple a day has essentially the same effect on a person. This is very important for people to see that living a healthy life style can impact your life so greatly that it can actually be better than resorting to using medicine.

  5. few week ago I felt some pains and I went to the hospital my doc told me I had hpv about 1 yr and I need to start the treatment early, he gave me some medicine to be taking and I told him no I’ll not, because I hated taking medicine when I won’t not see cure for the purpose. After I got home I started getting worried searching for strong advice and I found valid natural treatment online lot people says they got hpv cure from Dr onokun and I email Dr Onokun 3 days passed, I purchase his cure online some weeks after the process taking his treatment i got cured. I went for checkup twice after taking the natural treatment from the herbalist called Dr onokun and i tested negative. contact him on email: Dronokunherbalcure@gmail.com

  7. I thought my life had nothing to offer anymore because life became meaningless to me because I had HERPES virus, the symptoms became very severe and bold and made my family run from and abandoned me so they won't get infected. I gave up everything, my hope, dreams,vision and job because the doctor told me there's no cure. I so many drugs but they never cured me but hid the symptoms inside me making it worse. I was doing some research online someday when I came across testimonies of some people of how DR Aire cured them from HERPES virus, I never believed at first and thought it was a joke but later decided to contact him on the details provided and when I messaged him we talked and he sent me his herbal medicine and told me to go for a test after two weeks. Within 9 days of medication the symptoms disappeared and when I went for a test Lo and behold I was NEGATIVE by the Doctor Who tested me earlier. Thank you DR Aire because I forever owe you my life and I'll keep on telling the world about you. If you are going through same situation worry no more and contact DR Aire via drairehome@gmail.com or WhatsApp him via +2347036740271       2 diabetes cure
