“An apple a day keeps the doctor away”. We’ve all heard this old wives tale about apples, but what does it mean? What possible health benefits could an apple provide that allows us to not see a doctor? Well, this article may provide the beginning of an answer.
Dr. Peter D’Adamo found this article and shared it with Dr. Brody, and it details which bacteria around found in apples and how they can strengthen our microbiome. And while there is a significant difference between organic and conventional apples, with the conventional fruit holding some potentially harmful bacteria, the benefits of an apple cannot be overstated.
By introducing helpful bacteria to the microbiome, apples are able to help us with issues such as weight loss and digestion. And some of the bacteria found in the organic fruit have been shown to improve the taste as well!
While the article does not go into blood-type specifics, the research does promote apples across the board for general health and microbiome improvement.
The article can be found here, and Dr. Brody’s article on the microbiome can be found here.
