Eat apples wisely

It is wise to point out that the benefits of eating apples are put to much better use if the apple is eaten raw and whole, from the peel down to the last seed.  So the next time you eat an apple, try to eat if from peel to core.  Apple cores actually aren’t hard, and they don’t taste bitter the way you might think.  Try it some day and you’ll notice that the core is actually quite soft, and can be easily swallowed.  If you chew it and find a seed, chew that as well.  The seeds also taste fairly good, and are extremely nutritious for the stomach and intestines.
