A healthy start

This was at my home in nellore.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away.....

Almost everyone knows the saying...its not just about an apple, but having fruits in our daily diet is a very healthy option.
Fruits give us the required roughage, which helps us to have proper bowel movements.
They are rich in anti-oxidants, thus destroy the free radicals which are harmful.
They are very filling, which will make us eat the other stuff less.
They are rich in vitamins and minerals which are very useful.

And what not...the list is endless...so why delay...lets just start eating FRUITS.
