In the field of health and well-being, we of the editorial staff of ProiezionidiBorsa have several times written articles that have highlighted how eating certain foods can do good for our health.
We have dealt with it, for example, showing some scientific evidence in a previous article. Specifically, we have seen and explained how consuming these foods could lead to a 10% reduction in stroke risk. In the next few lines we will see another very interesting thing. In our diets many times we have been told to eat a type of fruit because it is good for health.

Indeed, we have often even joked about it with famous sayings such as “an apple a day keeps the doctor away”. In fact, few people know that this famous fruit lowers cholesterol and protects the lungs.
That’s right, the apple is not just a fruit useful for weight loss and that must be included in our common diets. It can also have great benefits on our organism of another nature and there are many studies to confirm this scientific.
Some researchers have confirmed that apples help reduce cholesterol levels
Specifically, these studies have highlighted how the role of fibers is fundamental within the apple. The latter, in fact, together with pectin are essential for controlling blood sugar and cholesterol levels.
To confirm all this were the researchers of the University of Florida who noticed this interesting fact: cholesterol levels bad (LDL) decreased in some women who included an apple a day in their diet.
Specifically, the levels had dropped by almost a quarter in the first six months of the diet alone.
Few people know that this famous fruit lowers cholesterol and protects the lungs
And the benefits are not just these. In fact, other studies have found that eating at least 5 apples a week can be very good for our lungs. The credit goes to quercetin which protects them from damage such as pollution and smoke by slowing down the degradation of our cells.
Apples are rich in this substance and this is another reason to include more apples in our diet. Obviously, as in all diets, it is always good to first consult with your doctor and dietician to avoid problems.
