an apple a day keeps the doctor away

Etymology
Of British origin; a similar proverb was recorded from Pembrokeshire, Wales, in 1866: “Eat an apple on going to bed, / And you’ll keep the doctor from earning his bread.” However, the idea that apples can cure disease is much older. In the play  (first performed ) by the English author (1601–1643), it is suggested that if a person who had heartburn had taken an apple and gone to bed, he would have been cured.
