Apples are one of the most cultivated and consumed fruits in the world. Some even call it a “miracle food”, justifying the “apple a day” adage. Why should you love apples?
1. They are packed with disease-fighting vitamins like vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin B6, riboflavin, as well as minerals like potassium, copper, manganese, and magnesium.
2. Lower risk of chronic diseases including type 2 diabetes, cancer, heart disease, and dementia has been linked to eating apples.
3. An apple’s peel has an acid in its component called ursolic acid. It is linked to a lower risk of obesity because it boosts calorie burn and increases muscle and brown fat.
4. Apples are rich in fiber. They help in the digestive process. Regular consumption of apples ensures smooth bowel movements and helps in preventing constipation as well as various stomach disorders.
5. The fibre in apples help in cleaning both the teeth and gums. It reduces cavities in the teeth and its antibacterial properties prevents bacteria from infecting the body.
