Medicinal Apple Tonic

Apples are one of the most medicinal fruits out there! They contain beneficial amino-acids like cysteine, glycine, arginine, histidine, isoleucine, lysine, serene, valine, and methionine. They are also rich in minerals like potassium, phosphorous, magnesium, iron and calcium, and contain a hefty serving of fibre to help regulate the digestive tract and reduce the chance of developing colon cancer later in life.
