  Podcastheroes.com Welcome to The Daily Quote, a podcast designed
• 0:07
  to kick start your day in a positive way.

  I'm your host, Andrew Mcgibburn for December 1st.

  Today is National Eat a Red Apple Day.
• 0:17
  Simple and direct. Just eat an apple.
• 0:21
  And not just any apple, a red apple.
• 0:24
  Why does it have to be a red apple?
• 0:27
  Because green Granny Smith apples have their own day,
• 0:31
  that's why. And that brings us to today's
• 0:34
  quote from an unknown author. An old Welsh proverb says an
• 0:39
  apple a day keeps that doctor away.
• 0:43
  That saying goes back to 1866 whales.
• 0:47
  Maybe different phrasing, but the same truth.
• 0:51
  Apples are good for you. Apples have high fiber content
• 0:55
  and antioxidants like quercetin and polyphenols, which support
• 0:59
  heart health, digestion, and disease prevention.
• 1:03
  Apples reduce the risk of heart disease by helping reduce
• 1:06
  cholesterol and blood pressure and reduces stroke risk too.
• 1:10
  And the quercetin in apples helps lower type 2 diabetes
• 1:13
  risk, possibly reducing risk by up to 18%.
• 1:18
  Pectin fiber acts as a prebiotic promoting beneficial gut
• 1:23
  bacteria. And Apple's combat oxidative
• 1:26
  stress, inflammation and also help prevent certain cancers
• 1:30
  like lung and breast cancer, according to research.
• 1:35
  So maybe this quote actually can be taken literally.
• 1:40
  But here's the real point. Simple habits matter, like
• 1:44
  eating an apple, drinking water, walking and sleep.
• 1:50
  Health isn't complicated, we just tend to make it
• 1:54
  complicated. So today, eat a red apple and
• 1:59
  that's it. Notice how simple health can be
• 2:02
  when you stop overthinking it. 1 apple one day, start there.
• 2:10
  That's going to do it for today. I'm Andrew McGivern, signing off
• 2:12
  for now, but I'll be back tomorrow.
