I remember the grandest apple pies my grandmother baked for us and how delicious they were. Grandma would point to specially turned apples way in the top of the trees as I scampered around the limbs like a monkey. As I picked one which she pointed to, my mouth would water more and more as visions of the apple pies would fill my mind with their sweetnes. I could recall my Brothers & Sisters, Cousins, Aunts & Uncles as we ate her pies at reunions. Grandma was a superb cook, and apple pies, ummm, any pies, I miss her and grandpa too.. That was over 60 years ago.

Apples are also very good for acid reflux. Eat a apple each day about an hour before going to bed and helps with acid indigestion. It takes about a two week period before it works really good.

Thanks! I was just going to prepare a Waldorf salad for my 101 year old mother. That is her favorite salad and maybe part of the reason for her longevity.

I did not know # 5--how apples fight against hair loss and brings health to the kidneys. I eat apples because I love them--all varieties. Good to be reminded of how wonderful they are for the body! Thank you Dr. Mao. I'll keep reading. Love this column. P.W. Dowdy

I eat many (at least 6) apples a day and reap many, many benefits from them. I have been able to go off of all laxatives to include Metamucil, MiraLax as well as prescription, hard-core laxatives. Apples do wonders for your complexion and you sense of well-being as well as many other things. I feel wonderful eating applies.
