Apples – Healthy in Many Ways
The old adage, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” has never been truer. In fact, many believe apples are the most nutritious and healthiest fruit there is. When you consider all the health benefits apples offer, it’s hard to argue:
 |
Weight Loss
Apples have almost no fat, no cholesterol and they are loaded with fiber, which helps digestion and promotes weight loss. |
 |
Heart Health
Apples also contain small amounts of potassium, which may promote a healthy heart as well as healthy blood pressure. Fiber may also promote a healthy heart, not to mention keeping you regular. No cholesterol and no sodium is good news too. |
 |
Cancer Prevention
Quercetin, a flavonoid abundant in apples, helps prevent the growth of prostate cancer cells according to research. Another study indicated that phytochemicals in the skin of an apple inhibited the reproduction of colon cancer cells by 43 percent. |
 |
Healthy Lungs
People who ate at least five apples per week experience better lung function according to a UK study. They also had a lower risk for respiratory disease. |
 |
Dental Hygiene
Apples promote dental hygiene promoting the flow of saliva. Biting and chewing an apple is a stimulant to the gums. This reduces tooth decay by decreasing the levels of bacteria in the mouth.
|
 |
Overall Health
A number of ingredients in apples have been found to lower blood cholesterol and improve regularity. They may also be associated with a reduced risk of ischemic heart disease, stroke, prostate cancer, type II diabetes and asthma. |
