An Apple A Day...

So they say, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Apples are rich in boron, a trace mineral that is essential for bone health. Thus eating apples helps to fight osteoporosis. Also apples help to prevent strokes and to keep the heart healthy. It is noted that Jabir b. ’Umar al-Saksaki narrated from Muhammad b. Isa from Ayyub b. Faddala from Muhammad b. Isa from Ayyub b. Faddala from Muhammad b Muslim said: “Abu Abd if people knew what there was in apples; they would treat their sick only with it. Surely it is the quickest thing to benefit the heart, particularly its exudation (al-nuduh)” (Islamic Medical Wisdom, pp.178-179).
