Eating a balanced diet and exercising regularly are the keys to good health. Eating at least two servings of fruit each day will help get you and your family on the path to a healthier lifestyle. And apples, in all their flavorful varieties and many processed foods, prove that good-for-you food can taste good, too.

• Apples don't have fat, cholesterol or sodium, which may help you maintain heart health and a healthy weight.

• Apples do have lots of fiber — both soluble and insoluble kinds. Fiber may help promote heart health and maintain regularity.

• Apples contain small amounts of potassium, which may promote heart health and help maintain healthy blood pressure.
