Apples for your waist
Americans who consume lots of apples, apple juice and applesauce have smaller waists and significantly less risk of metabolic syndrome -- a cluster of health problems linked to cardiovascular disease and diabetes. So says a new analysis of the government's National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Details: Those who have a large apple or a cup of apple juice or applesauce a day are 21% more apt to have a slimmer waist and 37% less apt to have high blood pressure.
