6.An apple a day keeps the doctor away.Most of us have heard this old saying and followed it to keep healthy.But recently,a new study tells us whether there's any truth in this old saying.A team of researchers led by Matthew Davis of the University of Michigan School of Nursing in the US,asked 8,399people to answer questions of diet and health.A total of 753were apple eaters.The other 7,646were non-apple eaters.
When both groups answered questions on trips to the doctor and trips to the chemist's per year,the apple eaters were found to be 27percent less likely to visit the chemist for drugs.
However,when considering other factors(因素) that can influence frequency(频率)of medical visits,such as weight,race,education and health insurance (健康保险),the difference disappeared.And the researchers found daily apple eaters were just as likely as non-apple eaters to go to doctors.In other words,an apple a day might keep the chemist away.
However,Davis said to USA Today,eating apples is still a healthy habit.Doctors generally agree that apples can be a good food choice.They are rich in vitamin C and also contain small amounts of vitamin A,calcium(钙) and iron.
But,"One apple isn't going to be enough to make a difference unless it's part of a healthy food pattern(模式)",said Steven Zeisel,from the University of North Carolina's Nutrition Research Institute(营养研究学院),to NBC News.
The old saying is thought to come from Wales in the 1800s.Apples,which have a long shelf-life(贮藏寿命),were likely one of the few fruits that were available throughout the year,according to NBC News.

分析 一天一个苹果,疾病远离我,人们也就想这句古语所说的去保持健康,最近,一个新的研究告诉我们这句老话是否有理.
由美国密歇根大学护理学院的马修戴维斯领导的一个研究小组,要求8399人回答饮食和健康问题,其中有753个是吃苹果的人,另外7646个是不吃苹果的人.
发现27%的吃苹果的人不太可能去药店买药..其他方面就没什么差别,也就是说一天一个苹果不用去买药.
然而,戴维斯说,吃苹果仍然是一个健康的习惯,医生们普遍认为,苹果可以是一个很好的食物选择,他们富含维生素C,还含有少量的维生素A,钙和铁.但是来自北卡罗来那大学的营养研究所Steven Zeisel说,一个苹果不足以有那么大的作用.
