MIRACLE OF APPLES
Apples are high in water content (they're 85 percent water) and rich in fiber (a medium apple contains 4 grams or about 16 percent of your daily value), two things you need to feel full.
Apples also have a low glycemic index, which means your blood sugar levels don't spike when you eat them.
Appless have lots of health benefits. Let’s see some of them;
1. Protecs your health
Multiple studies show apples are good for your ticker-in multiple ways. Their high fiber content has been shown to help improve cholesterol levels. A review of data published by Florida State University. also found that people who ate apples were less likely to develop high blood pressure. In addition, the people who ate apples over the seven-year study period had up to a 22 percent reduced risk of heart disease.
2. Boosts brain health
Eating apples regularly has been shown to reduce the risk of dementia. It is also so important for people to have a Mediterranean type of diet. The longer they followed the diet, the better their cognitive function.
3. May help you lose weight
One medium apple can help fill you up for under 100 calories, so it's no surprise that apples can help with weight loss. In one study, people who ate apple slices before a meal felt fuller and more satisfied than people who had applesauce, apple juice or no apples at all. The same study also found that starting a meal with apple slices helped people eat an average of 200 fewer calories compared to those who skipped the apple slices.
4. Fights cancer
Apples' cancer-fighting antioxidant activity is nearly tops among fruits. Eating an apple a day (or more) is linked with lower risk of several cancers, including colorectal, breast and prostate. In fact, an analysis of several Italian studies found that eating one or more servings of apples a day helped lower the risk of colorectal cancer more than eating any other fruit.
5. Lowers your risk of type 2 diabetes
In study of more than 38,000 healthy women those who ate one or more apples a day had a 28 percent lower risk of type 2 diabetes than the non-apple eaters. And in a review of data from more than 187,000 people involved in three long-term studies, Harvard researchers found that people who ate at least two servings a week of apples lowered their diabetes risk by 23 percent, compared to people who had one serving or less a month.
