Nutrition Tip

An apple a day really can keep you healthy.  Apples contain soluble fiber (the type that can lower cholesterol), which research suggests can help strengthen your immune system, helping you recover faster from illness.  Foods highest in soluble fiber are brussels sprouts, citrus fruits, bananas, carrots, and apples.
