Healthy Carb Food #2: Apples
There is a well known saying that an apple a day keeps the doctor away. The saying is used for a very good reason as apples are very healthy indeed, helping to prevent sickness. Apples are a good source of vitamin c, which helps boost our immune system, as well as a range of other vitamins and minerals.
A medium sized apple contains around 25g of carbs and makes up 96% of the macronutrients within the fruit. This carb content helps to provide us with an energy boost. This makes them ideal snacks that help us to last until our next meal. They also contain antioxidants and have been shown to help maintain a healthy blood sugar level. It is also thought that apples may be able to help prevent cancer.
