How is the week going my fellow steemitizens? I believe fruitful and good. Let's make it better, more fruitful and funful ( lol). Let's do this guys.

I have been running the "Learn And Earn Contest" for sometime, which let's you do a little research and earn from doing such. However, this one is a SPECIAL kind of it. But...

What's So SPECIAL About This?

Well, let's just say that everyone who follow the Requirements/Guidelines accordingly, is a WINNER. I believe it will also add a little LIGHT to our steemistory. Did I just notice you say...

How?

Generally, the number of posts has decreased recently since the bearish trend in the cryptospace. This has affected everyone whether we choose to accept it or YES. Lol. The passion seems to be waning and some feel a bit worried, which is quite human.

The contest will serve as an ultimate EQUALISER of ALL who choose to play by the Requirements. It does not Recognise plankton, minnow, dolphin, orca, whale e.t.c in its distribution of the reward. EVERYONE IS A WINNER.

Let's Talk About...

To get the contest rolling my entry is down ( Subsequent entries will share a link to this post). Let's do this...

Learn And Earn Contest Entry: A = APPLE 🍎

" An apple a day keeps the doctor away". That is similar to the original saying.

Eat an apple on going to bed, and you’ll keep the doctor from earning his bread." The current phrasing, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away", began usage at the end of the 19th century, [1][2] early print examples found as early as 1899.[3]

I choose this sweet fruit as my entry today because of the taste of it and the health benefits associated with it. Such health benefits includes:

• Lowering of bad cholesterol in the body system

• Reducing the risk of cancer.

• Has a rich source of antioxidants that fights diseases.
  Those are a few benefits associated with it. You can read more of the benefits on the link [https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/267290.php]
