Une pomme par jour garde le docteur éloigné


Explanation:
“An apple a day keeps the doctor away.”

This proverb comes from the ancient Romans, who believed the apple had magical powers to cure illness. In fact, apples are filled with vitamin C, protein, pectin, natural sugars, copper, and iron. They do promote health.

*In french we would say:
A glass of red wine a day keeps the doctors away. :-)

Good luck!
