Does an apple a day really keep the doctor away?
Why do we never hear the cliché, "an orange a day keeps the doctor away?"
When I was a child, I remember hearing this phrase many times. As far as I can recall, I believe it was always repeated at a time when I was choosing not to eat the apple which had wisely been packed inside my lunch bag, or offered to me at snack time.
Of course the idea behind this cliché is that it is very important to maintain healthy bodies, by including fruit, such as apples in our diet every day.
