Apples
You remember what your Mom used to say about eating your fruits and vegetables, right? Well, turns out she was on the money.
Apples contain no saturated fat or cholesterol and are an excellent source of fiber. Although the development of heart disease depends on many factors, diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol and rich in fruits, vegetables, and grain products that contain fiber may lower blood cholesterol levels and reduce your risk of heart disease.
Now you can pass healthy eating habits on to your own kids, and guess what? Your kids will love it! Eating healthy is easy because yet again, Mom is right!
