She also emphasized that such fruits reduce energy levels.

If you want to find the perfect snack, you need to consider that it should contain protein.

As for apples, it is better to choose them as a dessert.

The good thing is that hard fruits help clean your teeth, which means apples are an ideal food that can be a great addition to your breakfast or lunch.
