No bad apple in this bunch! Reach for dried apples to reduce inflammation.

An apple a day really can keep the doctor away!

According to a recent study, women who snack on dried apples every day earn a bushel of heart-healthy benefits. Those who ate 240 calories worth of dried apples for a year lowered their “lousy” LDL cholesterol by 23%. It also reduced C-reactive protein levels— a substance linked with an increased risk of heart disease.

Apple chips can be found on campus this Fall at Union Street Market: http://www.rps.indiana.edu/unionstreetmarket.cfml. Find it on the ground floor of the Cedar building at Union Street Appartments (corner of 10th and Union Street).
