An apple a day keeps the doctor away’
This famous English originally came from a Welsh saying that translates to “Eat an apple on going to bed, and you’ll keep the doctor from earning his bread.” The saying encouraged a custom that didn’t actually extol the benefits of eating an apple, however.
It was a Welsh custom to eat apples with caraway seeds, which were thought to have health benefits. Since then, however, the many health benefits of apples have been scientifically proven.
