Benefits of Apples
Apples will make your skin glow! This is due to the antioxidants and vitamin C found in apples which can promote healthy skin and reduce the signs of aging. And just like cucumbers, apples are high in mineral water content which can help you stay hydrated.
Available in many colors and sizes, the green apples are the ones with the least amount of sugar content and therefore making them perfect for green juices and smoothies.
An apple a day keeps the doctors away! Apples may reduce several risks of common cancers and Alzheimer’s disease, this is due to the antioxidants compounds found in the skin of apples such as quercetin, epicatechin, procyanidin.
The soluble fiber found in apples called pectin, lowers high cholesterol levels and regulates digestive function.
Apples contain vitamins and minerals such as B3, K, beta-carotene, biotin, folate, calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus and potassium.
