Healing Outside The Box

There's a pretty good chance that you've heard the phrase "an apple a day keeps the doctor away" and didn't pay much attention to it. With all of the chronic ailments that we now associate with our low fiber/high fat/high sugar American diet, perhaps we should start paying attention to it sooner rather than later. This episode is devoted to the many benefits of fresh fruits. And I get to it as soon as I finish my story about meeting Paula Poundstone. She could very well be my favorite funny person! There are a couple of journal articles that I mentioned in the episode.The first is a peer-reviewed article put out by the national Institute of health, or NIH. It's called "dietary energy density and body weight in adults and children: a systematic review". It can be found here.  There was another study called "dietary strategies for weight management". It can be found here. As always, if you have any questions or would like to suggest topics for future episodes, you're free to contact me on my website contact pag
