Question: An apple a day keeps the doctor away?
Answers: An apple a day keeps the doctor away?
It is actually a nursery rhyme
An apple a day keeps the doctor away
Apple in the morning - Doctor's warning
Roast apple at night - starves the doctor outright
Eat an apple going to bed - knock the doctor on the head
Three each day, seven days a week - ruddy apple, ruddy cheek
Origins and history of the nursery rhyme
The simple history or meaning behind the words of this nursery rhyme lyrics is one to encourage the child or even baby of the family to eat healthily! Although perhaps 'Doctor' should be replaced with 'Dentist' in this modern day and age
cuz apples keep you healthy
but it doesn't, i've eaten an apple a day for 8 years and i still got aids!!

People really only remember the first line since the others are lackluster. Its not so much the Apple that would save you from the doctor but fresh fruit in general was so hard to get that the people that did were usually wealthier and healthier than the rest.
