  Podcasthero.com Welcome to The Daily Quote, a podcast designed

  to kick start your day in a positive way.

  I'm your host, Anna McGivern for October 21st.

  Today is National Apple Day celebration that honors one of
• 0:15
  nature's most beloved and versatile fruits.
• 0:19
  The founders, Sue Clifford and Angela King created Apple Day to
• 0:23
  celebrate the diversity of apple varieties, promote the
• 0:27
  preservation of traditional orchards, and encourage people
• 0:31
  to reconnect with locally sourced seasonal food.
• 0:35
  What started as Auk celebration has grown into a global
• 0:40
  appreciation of apples and their rich cultural, historical and
• 0:44
  agricultural significance. With over 7000 recognized apple
• 0:49
  varieties grown worldwide, apples represent incredible
• 0:54
  biodiversity. From their crispy Granny Smith
• 0:58
  to this sweet Honey Crisp, from classic Red Delicious to
• 1:03
  heirloom varieties like Cox's Orange Pippin, apples offer
• 1:08
  something for everyone. National Apple Day reminds us to
• 1:12
  appreciate not just the fruit itself, but the orchards,
• 1:16
  growers, and traditions that sustain this agricultural
• 1:19
  heritage. And that brings us to today's
• 1:23
  quote from an unknown author. It's actually an old proverb,
• 1:30
  widely known and often repeated. Someone once said an apple a day
• 1:38
  keeps the doctor away. This familiar saying, which
• 1:42
  dates back to the 1860s, capture something profound about our
• 1:46
  relationship with apples that goes beyond simple nutrition
• 1:49
  advice. Think about what this proverb
• 1:52
  really represents. It's folk wisdom recognizing
• 1:56
  that simple, natural foods can be powerful medicine.
• 2:00
  Apples are packed with fiber, vitamins and antioxidants that
• 2:04
  support overall health. But the deeper wisdom is about
• 2:08
  prevention, about making small, consistent choices that protect
• 2:12
  our well-being rather than waiting for crisis to force
• 2:16
  change. National Apple Day celebrates
• 2:19
  the same principle by encouraging us to eat locally
• 2:24
  grown, seasonal apples. It's promoting not just
• 2:27
  individual health, but community health, environmental
• 2:32
  sustainability, and the preservation of agricultural
• 2:35
  diversity. When we support local orchards
• 2:39
  and choose fresh apples over processed alternatives, we're
• 2:44
  investing in our own health and our community's futures.
• 2:48
  The proverb also reminds us that good health doesn't require
• 2:52
  expensive supplements or complicated regiments.
• 2:56
  Sometimes the best medicine is as simple and accessible as
• 3:01
  biting into a fresh, crisp apple.
• 3:05
  Come to think of it, I haven't been eating many apples recently
• 3:09
  and I've seen way more doctors than usual over the last month
• 3:13
  or so. Usual is generally 0 doctors.
• 3:20
  Coincidence. I think not.
• 3:23
  So today, to celebrate National Apple Day, I'm actually going to
• 3:26
  eat an apple. They taste good and keep those
• 3:29
  doctors away. But while we're at it, let's
• 3:32
  take this a step further. What other simple, natural
• 3:36
  choices could we make that would keep the doctor away?
• 3:40
  What traditions in the community deserve preservation and
• 3:44
  support? How can you reconnect with the
• 3:47
  sources of your food and the people who grow it?
• 3:50
  Remember that Proverbs, wisdom, health and well-being often
• 3:54
  comes from simple, consistent choices.
• 3:58
  Sometimes the most powerful medicine is the most accessible
• 4:03
  one. That's going to do it for today.
• 4:06
  I'm Andrew McGivern, signing off for now, but I'll be back
• 4:11
  tomorrow. Same pod time, same pod station
• 4:16
  with another daily quote.
