If you’ve been eating an apple a day to keep the doctor away, but haven’t been consuming the core, you are likely missing out on some of the most beneficially nutritious parts of the apple, a recent study found.
In addition to fiber and flavonoids, apples contain bacteria (the good, gut health-promoting kind) and most of it is found in the fruit's core, including the stem and seeds. The results suggest it may be advantageous to consume the entire apple.
Follow the link to find out why organic apples have an edge when it comes to bacteria diversity. |

| Even when we know people’s names, why do we go for days without using them? By using someone’s name, you help them feel seen and acknowledged — and that’s an act of kindness. According to kindness.org’s research in collaboration with the University of Oxford, doing a kind act increases happiness, well-being, trust and compassion. And it can have the same powerful effect on those who receive the act. Try it, and put a smile on both your faces. |

Even healthy, young, slim people can benefit from cutting 300 calories a day from their diet — a simple lifestyle change that can lead to a big payoff in heart health, researchers have found.
People who made this change for two years had lower blood pressure, lower total cholesterol and lower risk of metabolic syndrome. They also lost an average of about 16 pounds, 71% of which was fat. The strategy could reduce the “ravages” of cardiovascular disease, the authors wrote, possibly boosting longevity.
