5 Reasons Why an Apple a Day Will Keep Many Doctors Away

Almost everyone has heard of the expression, "an apple a day keeps the doctor away." However, if you are anything like me, you must have wondered why an apple keeps the doctor away. Well I intend to give you a few reasons why an apple a day won’t just keep one doctor away, but many.

1. Prevents many types of cancer. Apples help prevent cancer of the lung, breast, colon, and liver. A study of 10,000 people showed that those who ate the most apples cut their risk of lung cancer in half. Cornell University conducted a study using rats. Those that ate 1 apple a day reduced the risk of breast cancer by 17%, while those that had 3 reduced their risk by 39%, and those that ate 6 apples per day further cut their risk of breast cancer by 44%. A study showed that rats that were fed an extract from apples skins had a 43% lower risk of colon cancer, the second leading cause of death from cancer. Additionally, the rats that were fed extract from apple skins had a 57% lower risk of liver cancer.

2. Bone Protection. Researchers from France discovered that phloridzin, a flavanoid found only in apples may protect post-menopausal women from osteoporosis and may increase bone density. Boron, also found in apples helps strengthen bones as well.

3. Helps manage diabetes. Pectin, which is found in apples, gives galacturonic acid to the body. This lowers the body's need for insulin and in turn, this may be able to aid in the management of diabetes.

4. Helps protect against Alzheimer's. A study conducted on rats at Cornell University found that a potent antioxidant found abundantly in apples appears to protect the brain cells against oxidative stress. This oxidative stress is a tissue-damaging process that is linked to Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative disorders.

5. Lowers cholesterol. The pectin found in apples lowers LDL, or the "bad" cholesterol. Eating two apples a day may actually lower cholesterol by 16%! Additionally, apples may reduce skin disease.

How Dance Can Help Your Health

Trying to get into shape isn't always the easiest thing to do. You have probably tried sports like football, hockey, soccer, and many others, but simply find you're no good, or are constantly getting injured. You could always go out for a nice jog, or hit the gym. This might be entertaining for a short period of time, but soon the novelty wears off and you grow bored. You've tried everything else so why not try dance?

Dance provides a fun and entertaining way of becoming physically active, while at the same time, given you've stretched and warmed up properly, is a relatively safe way to get some exercise.

Some people will tell you "dance isn't a sport!" These people clearly do not realize all the things dance does for your body. Depending on the type of dance and your body weight, you could be burning anywhere between 300-500 calories an hour. For those that do not know, a downhill skier that weighs 155lbs, burns 422 calories an hour for moderate effort. If dance isn't a sport you might as well stop calling skiing, basketball, football, soccer, baseball, and swimming sports.

Dance has many, many benefits that include,
Flexibility- Most dancers stretch before participating in a routine, or practicing. Most dances require the dancer to be able to move many of their muscles in all different ways; this obviously leads to increased flexibility in just about every part of your body.
Bone Strength- As you are moving during a routine the bones in your legs are strengthened which helps slow down bone loss, combined with medication, you may be able to fight off Osteoporosis.
Balance- Dance requires an extreme amount of balance, so if you find yourself on the ground more than on your feet, dance will help improve your sense of balance.
Helps Relieve Stress- Dancing, especially with a partner or group can relieve a great deal of stress. Not only do you get to workout and express yourself, but you can socialize with those around you and have good time.

Dance promotes many health benefits and should seriously be considered by many people. It is a way to express yourself, relieve stress, and get some exercise, all while fighting off things like osteoporosis, and many other bone and muscle related pain. However, always know the limit at which you can push your body, the importance of dance is to have fun, so try not to pull a muscle.
