MONROE, La. (KNOE) -It’s time for you to grab an apple because Dec. 1 is National Eat a Red Apple Day!
Nutritionist Jen Avis joined us on Good Morning ArkLaMiss to discuss the health benefits of red apples.
Avis said you should always get organic apples when you are purchasing apples. She said apples contain a compound called phloridzin, which is good for the bones and great for women in postmenopause.
