Adam scribbled down some of the other sayings that the students had offered, but wrote the one Professor Scabior put on the board a bit bigger and underlined it. Ahh...An apple a day keeps the healer away...that was actually pretty close to a muggle expression..hmm...

"In a literal sense it teaches that if you eat at least one apple a day, it will keep you healthy enough that you won't need to go to the healers. In the 19th century, at least in a muggle concept, the saying probably was meant to help factory workers living in the horrific city conditions in Europe during the 19th century," Adam offered. That made sense yes? "There were so many diseases and malnutrition circling, that this was probably a small step towards encouraging people to eat healthier. Personally I don't think the statement is true entirely on its own, but when put into a larger scheme it can be true. I think the saying could be broadened to mean eating healthily will help keep the doctor away, but obviously you'd need to eat more than just an apple a day to remain healthy."
