An Apple a day.............
by Bruno (Aloe Fresh proprietor)
It is hardly possible these days to take up any newspaper or magazine, go online for your own reasons and be bombarded with unrequested commercial propaganda under the pretense of vital information, which often includes advertisements of patent medicines or containers housing pills or capsules to supplement one's diet.
One I observed recently had highlighted notations that the capsules “contain phosphorus.”
This supplement was very expensive, but I was assured that they are worth ten times the price asked because of this wonderful ingredient containing nerve and brain food. The proprietors of these concoctions seemingly flourish like green bay trees and spend many thousands of dollars per annum in advertising from which it may be deduced that sufferers of nervous exhaustion and brain fog number in the millions and is increasing daily. And surely only a sufferer of brain fog would suffer to be led blindly into wasting money, and still further injuring their mental health, by buying and swallowing drugs and/or supplements about which properties and effects they know absolutely nothing.
How much simpler, cheaper, and more enjoyable it would be to eat an apple!
The apple contains a larger percentage of phosphorus than any other fruit or vegetable. For this reason it is an invaluable nerve and brain food. Sufferers from nerve and brain exhaustion should eat at least two apples at the beginning of each meal. At the same time they should avoid tea and coffee, and replace them with barley water or bran tea flavoured with lemon juice, or even apple tea.
Apples are also invaluable to sufferers from the stone disease or calculus which is much the same thing. It has been observed that in countries where cider drinking is the common beverage, natural unsweetened cider, cases of stone are practically unknown. Food-reformers do not deduce from this that the drinking of cider is to be recommended, but that even better results may be obtained from eating the fresh, ripe fruit – of course, the apple.
Apples periodically appear upon the tables of carnivorous feeders in the form of apple sauce. This accompanies bilious dishes like roast pork and roast goose. The cook who set this fashion was evidently acquainted with the action of the fruit upon the liver. All sufferers from sluggish livers should eat apples.
Apples will afford a great deal of relief to sufferers from gout. The malic acid contained in them neutralises the chalky matter which causes the gouty patient’s sufferings.
Apples, when eaten ripe and without the addition of sugar, diminish acidity in the stomach. Certain vegetable salts are converted into alkaline carbonates, and thus correct the acidity.
An old remedy for weak or inflamed eyes is an apple poultice. I am told that in Lancashire they use rotten apples for this purpose, but personally I should prefer them sound.
A good remedy for a sore or relaxed throat is to take a raw ripe apple and scrape it to a fine pulp with a silver teaspoon. Eat this pulp by the spoonful, very slowly, holding it against the back of the throat as long as possible before swallowing.
A diet consisting chiefly of apples has been found an excellent cure for inebriety (alcoholism). Health and strength may be fully maintained upon fine wholemeal unleavened bread, pure dairy or nut butter, and apples.
Apple water or apple tea is an excellent drink for fever patients.
Apples possess tonic properties and provoke appetite for food. Hence the old-fashioned custom of eating an apple before dinner.
So why is this on the Aloefresh site? Because adding blended aloe to your apple juice will double the healing or health benefit of the apple, and make it taste good too.
Regarding the supplement mentioned at the beginning of this article, I didn't buy it, or should I say - 'I don't buy it'!!!
