why not, "a glass of lemon juice or orange juice a day keeps the doctors away"? it sure was more effective for me. it's tons of vitamin c is good for keeping the skin clear and fighting off viruses that cause colds and flu. happy

During the days of sail ships ( which is when this phrase came about ) it wasn't possible to take juices easily. On those ships scurvy was a big problem. An apple a day could help prevent that & thus the trip to the infirmary.

There are a lot of reasons for which the saying came out that an apple a day keeps the doctor away. First thing is that it is very easily available and is delicious to taste with significant nutritional value. The significance of it nutrition lies in the fact that it has a lot of important vitamins and minerals that are present in adequate quantities that can be full filled by an average sized apple. So i think that this is the reason that made apple associated with such a saying.
