The World’s First Health Food
Modern science suggests that an apple a day really does keep the doctor away. Not only have apples been around since the story of Adam and Eve, they have also been the recent topic of discussion in science research as well.
Apples contain a protein that exerts survival-promoting actions, shielding neurons from damage. Researchers at Emory University are attempting to concentrate this protein and use it as the template for a new class of brain-protecting drugs.
Apples also contain a powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant phytochemical. Because apples are one of the richest sources of this, they are able to lower cholesterol and stabilize blood-glucose levels.
With the wide variety of apples available, it would be tough not to find one appealing to your taste buds, especially knowing that they are helping your body and keeping you healthy with each bite you take.

Good presentation, Sarah. Consider how you can make it more conversational for listeners. “Template,” and “exert survival promoting actions” could be clearer.
