Eating apples is good on so many levels. There's fiber in the skin that's really good for you. It helps with digestion and helps you absorb all the nutrients of everything you've eaten that day. Apples are a really good thing.
I never felt that getting angry would do you any good other than hurt your own digestion, keep you from eating, which I liked to do.
