Apples & Hot Cocoa?
These Really Do Keep the Doctor Away!
Apples
Outstanding Client
Of The Month !
In recent findings, incidence of lung cancer was reduced by 60%,
asthma by 20% and death from heart disease by 20% in people who
ate one apple a day.

business…You could be my next
Client of The Month!
Theory: Apples are rich in the bioflavonoid quercetin, which helps
block the accumulation of free radicals in the body. The cell damage
caused by free radicals contributes to the development of these
diseases.
Self-Defense: Eat one small apple a day for this benefit.
Other quercetin-rich foods: Onions, cabbage, blackberries and
cranberries. – Paul Knekt, PhD, Helsinki
Hot Cocoa
See Insert This Issue…
Hot cocoa fights disease better than wine or tea. One cup of hot
cocoa contains about 611 mg of phenols and 564 mg of flavonoids,
two powerful antioxidants that protect against cancer and heart
disease. By comparison, a glass of red wine has 340 mg and 163 mg
respectively, while green tea has 165 mg and 47 mg… and black tea
has only 124 mg and 34 mg.
Bonus: Although chocolate also is very rich in antioxidants, it is high
in saturated fat. The equivalent amount of cocoa contains less than 1
gram of saturated fat. – Chang Y. Lee, PhD, Cornell University
