Introduction

Welcome to my blog dear steemians and friends. Today I will be participating in Steemit Engagement Challenge season 8, week 4 with the titled "An Apple a day keeps the Doctor away". How true is this statement. Please find out from this article.

What an apple a day could mean.

An Apple a Day Keeps the doctor away is an old and English common proverb that advocates the consumption of apples as a healthy fruit, which will help us stay healthy without getting sick for a while.

I strongly agree with the statement that an apple a day keeps the doctor away. This is because a raw apple contains a good quantity of water, carbohydrates, fat, and protein, as well as a moderate amount of dietary fibre.

Looking at the above-mentioned nutritional contents, you will agree with the old English proverb that an apple a day keeps the doctor away.

Some practices and habits I do to make sure I stay healthy

I make it a habit to consume a lot of fruit, which includes apples.
Apple is one of my favourite fruits though the price keeps increasing day by day. That doesn't stop me from consuming an apple.

How I discovered these activities

I learned almost all these habits from someone.
Right from when I was a young child living with my parents. My parents taught me the importance of eating good and healthy food. My mother can't cook for a week without including vegetables in our food for at least three to four times in a week.

As I grew up, I learned the importance of eating fruit daily. I also made research many times about the importance of fruit and how it protects and cleans the body.
During my research, I came to learn that it is recommended to consume fruit at least once a day.

Talking about regular exercise, I learned that in my grade school and also in the college. I also do research about the benefits of exercise to the human body.
With the knowledge I got from school and some experts in the field, I was moved to engage in regular exercise.

Health benefits of the above-mentioned habits

There are a lot of health benefits to the habits I mentioned above.
Having a habit of eating fruit and vegetables will help escape a lot of health problems like cancer, strokes, eye problems, and indigestion. It can also lower and improve blood pressure, etc.

Talking about the benefits of exercise to the human body. It's helps reduce weight and fight obesity.
Exercise helps me to be physically fit, strong, and healthy.
Regular exercise helps in fighting sleep disorders and improves brain functions.
Regular exercise reduces the feelings of depression by boasting my mood.

I encourage everyone to eat a diet rich with fruits and vegetables as this will help keep the doctor away. It will help you live a good and healthy lifestyle. You will be free from some kind of sickness and diseases, as stated earlier in this article.
Regular exercise will not just help you lose weight. Rather, it will help in overall health and wellness.
I encourage anyone to get involved in regular exercise except those who have some kind of health problems that prevent them from doing so.
