Apples!! So many flavours, so many colours, and so many nutrients! Apples are definitely one of my favourites foods in the fall (or any other time of year). They are loaded with an abundance of health enhancing nutrients and fibre. Apples offer the most health benefits when consumed in their whole form, with skin, rather than apple juice or apple sauce.

Here's why I LOVE apples:

• The phytonutrients in apples can help you regulate your blood sugar.
• The soluble fibre found in apples, called pectin, helps to lower blood fat levels making it an excellent food for prevention of heart disease.
• The high content of flavanoids, like quercetin, have been associated with lower risk of asthma.
