having an apple instead benefit far more than any boost or benefit of coffee as a diet aid.\u00a0 Apples usually contain less than 100 calories each; having no dietary cholesterol or fat.\u00a0 The combination of fiber and vitamins apples contain may help to lower overall cholesterol meaning better blood flow making you more alert!\u00a0\u00a0 Apples are a great source of B vitamins, which aids in metabolism; and, beta carotene, a well studied antioxidant known to have a long list of health benefits that include warding off respiratory infections, lowering the risk of certain types of cancers, lowering the risk of heart disease and even protecting against ultraviolet radiation when combined with Vitamin C (also found in apples).\u00a0 Vitamin C is known to help the body fight infections.\u00a0 If there is temptation to grab a multivitamin to go with that cup of java, think of this: if a vitamin were to hold all the vitamins, minerals, and fiber of an apple, it would probably be the size of an apple!<\/p>\n<div>Reference: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nutrition-and-you.com\/apple-fruit.html\">www.nutrition-and-you.com<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.livestrong.com\">http:\/\/www.livestrong.com<\/a><\/div>\n<p>When they say and Apple a Day&#8230;Guess they really knew what they were talking about!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I do not drink Coffee&#8230;EVER.\u00a0 Most people I know drink Coffee, they are addicted.\u00a0 Most like to start their day with a hot cup of Joe, stating it helps wake them up and get their day going.\u00a0 Given that Coffee has no nutritional value, is addictive and many negative side-effects a bit extreme just to<a class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/karatetraining.org\/weblog\/coffee-no\/\" title=\"Read More\"> <span class=\"button \">Read More<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":123458,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[13,44],"tags":[171,72],"class_list":["post-2717","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-diet","category-fitness","tag-diet","tag-health"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/karatetraining.org\/weblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2717","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/karatetraining.org\/weblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/karatetraining.org\/weblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/karatetraining.org\/weblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/123458"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/karatetraining.org\/weblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2717"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/karatetraining.org\/weblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2717\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2721,"href":"https:\/\/karatetraining.org\/weblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2717\/revisions\/2721"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/karatetraining.org\/weblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2717"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/karatetraining.org\/weblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2717"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/karatetraining.org\/weblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2717"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
