An Apple a day keeps the Doctor Away!

I have heard that saying since I was a very young child. I knew apples were good for me but I really had no idea how good they were for me until now.

Apples are LOADED with Vitamin C which aid's the immune system and phenols, which have been shown to lower cholesterol.

They also reduce tooth decay by removing bacteria. It has also been suggested by Cornell University researchers that quercetin, which is found in apples protects brain cells against neuro-degenerative disorders like Alzheimer's Disease.

I personally love to eat apples pre workout for a nice energy kick as they are loaded with slow burning clean sugars that will fuel any workout.

So what are you waiting for!? Go Grab an Apple!

I hope everyone is having a great summer here is something I wanted to pass on to all of you.

Every so often I will find something on the net that I HAVE to pass on to my friends, family,fan/supporters, clients, bloggers and all of those who are the quest for a healthy, AMAZING mind, body, and soul!

Over the past couple of years I have managed to reach this personal goal that I set for myself with hard work and a "clean" diet.

I want nothing more then to be able to pass this on to each and everyone one of you.

Here is the National Nutrient Database. It is truly and awesome tool!

P.S. The photo posted with this article is a "off season" shot of myself. Taken in November of this past year. I am around 197 lbs in that photo. Typically I am at 185 for most photo shoots.

To lean out for shoots I add cardio 3-4 times a week @45-55 minutes. I will also cut back on the high protein and calorie consumption by splitting meals down. Fruits and clean carbs such as Yams and brown rice are key. Ok that was a long PS but I thought you all might like to know this information..ok off to NYC!
