International Day “Eat an Apple”
Every year on the third Saturday of September, it is celebrated all over the world Eat an Apple Day. The purpose of its celebration is to draw people’s attention to a simple and effective method of maintaining health, which is represented by the daily use of this valuable fruit.
In Ukraine, the apple tree has always been considered a miracle tree. In old folk tales there were mentions of rejuvenating apples. And in order to find out the future, the fairy-tale heroes only had to start rolling an apple on a plate.
Now even babies know about the benefits of these tasty medicines, but, unfortunately, a large number of sweets and other harmful food makes them forget about it. Therefore, on the day of the holiday, many schools and kindergartens hold challenges, when all children and teachers eat one apple and encourage others to do the same.
