in food •  7 years ago  (edited)

The apple is the most popular and the most delicious fruit on Earth. There is nothing better than to bite into a bright, red and juicy apple to quench your thirst and satisfy your sweets while promoting your health significantly. The apple is fruit belonging to the family Rosaceae and bears the scientific name Malus domestica. Their descendants were the wild apple (Malus sieversii) still producing in many parts of Central Asia.

Health Benefits of Apples

Aid in Digestion

Due to High fiber contents apples help in digestion. Regular consumption of apples ensures smooth bowel movements, prevents constipation, and stomach problems.

Prevent Cancer

The role of apples in cancer prevention has been researched. Although they have shown moderate improvements in the treatment of various types of cancer, particularly breast and colon cancer, the most important finding is that of lung cancer.

Improve Intestinal Health

One of the most important and neglected parts of our health is the beneficial bacteria that live in our body. The apple helps to improve the function of the bacteria living in our large intestine.

Preventing dementia

A study published in 2008 in the Journal of Food Science showed that eating apples can be good for your nervous system.

Lowering levels of bad cholesterol

A group of researchers at Florida State University pointed out that Apple is a "miraculous fruit". They found that after six months, older women who eat apples every day have a 23% reduction in bad cholesterol (LDL) and a 4% increase in good cholesterol level (HDL).

Improves Heart Health

Apple promotes heart health in many ways. They are high in soluble fiber and help lower cholesterol. They also have polyphenols, which are associated with lower blood pressure and a risk of stroke.

Fight Against Asthma

Apples contain some antioxidants and some special anti-inflammatory compounds that may help regulate the immune system and prevent asthma.

Yes, you are right. An apple in a day kind of keeps doctor away.

I remeber visiting my doctor last week and he adviced me to eat apple at night even if I don't eat anything else.

Apples are great! There are thousands of varieties of apples and they all taste amazing. One day I want to get an apple tree and graft different varieties of apple on it. That way you get different apples on the same tree!

Literally just ate one before clicking on this.

I love the apple is very tasty

I love all variant of Apple....
Red Apple, Green Apple, Yellow Apple.
And I really miss of Apple iPhone, Apple iPod etc.... haha...(just kidding)

I love bananas more, but I also need to reconsider my attitude to apples. They are also very useful)

Just don't pull a Steve Jobs and become a Frutarian or whatever he calls it. Well balanced diet people. I think a lot of these tips are sort of presented in a "we found the solution" type way which is sort of misleading.

"An apple a day keeps the doctor away" is true to an extent. If someone eats a bowl of fruit without apple it's not like they missed the benefit. In fact, that apple might be worse for them at that point due to a higher fructose/carb intake.

I think a lot of these health tips need to be taken with a grain of salt. I mean, they found out fruit is good for you. That's about it. If you only eat fast food, drink soft drinks and sugary drinks, don't work out, and eat candy all day the benefits of replacing one of those terrible snacks for an apple is obvious.

it is important to maintain the health of the body, but there is more importantly, that is our spiritual health, if you want to stop by my blog. thanks I say, by the way I also really like fruits especially apples

Yup, I try to eat one every day, I prefer a gala apple to other varieties, or a Macintosh, but only organic. They spray the shit out of apples and whenever I eat nonorganic apples I have a reaction to them.

Apples are incredible! I have to buy organic apples because the pesticides put on non-organic apples make me sick but I always have apples in the house because they have so many benefits. I didn't know that apples can prevent dementia, so that is something new that I learned!
Thanks for sharing

I will try an apple a day - must be organic (agreed). Apples are one of those fruits that absorb pesticides.

Yup! And the pesticides give them a terrible taste that I can never seem to get rid of, even if I wash them.

Apples are the most incredible because if you were to eat a different type of apple each day, it would take you over 20 years to eat them all!

I don't like to crunch on it, fortunately, there are many other fruits to enjoy!

Hope the apple isn't GMO!

And grown organically and not sprayed with chemicals.

Most of the food in the supermarkets are GMO and very few people understand the difference. When doctors recommend apples, they should also explain the difference between GMOS and organic fruits.

Absolutely. GMOs are one of the worst creation of man to date. Solely created for profit and was intentionally made to disregard the risks it poses to the human health.

Excellent post, it is important to consume fruits every day, since they provide nutrients and are very beneficial for our health, apples give us antioxidants as well as the prevention of many diseases .. I congratulate you.
