English Proverb: An apple a day keeps the doctor away

I thought it might be appropriate to introduce this little proverb: an apple a day keeps the doctor away,  at this time of year.

It may give a little boost to your willpower.

If you are feeling a little peckish at work, do not open your desk drawer and reach for the snacks you have hidden there.

You thought it was a secret, but I know you have them because I also have them in my desk drawer.

If you are feeling peckish, remember an apple a day keeps the doctor away.


This means that if we eat healthy food, we will be healthy and will not have to see a doctor.


Nobody wants to see the doctor.


This post is likely to be understood by a reader who has at least a 7th-grade education (age 12) and should be easy for most adults to read.  

On the Flesch-Kincaid reading-ease test, this post scores 80.  

The easier a passage is to read, the higher the score on a scale of 0 – 100.
