Follow-up – Ali Mualla:
Apples are a “miracle fruit”, as they are very rich in antioxidants, “flavanoids”, dietary fiber and vitamins.
Antioxidants help reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure and protect against diabetes.
In this article, we will look at the most important health benefits of apples:
1. Improve neurological health.
Apple contains an antioxidant, which is the most powerful in helping the body to mitigate cell damage caused by oxidative stress and neuroinflammation.
2. Prevent dementia.
Eating apples has neurological health benefits: Eating them regularly protects nerve cells from the effects of nerve stress and plays an important role in reducing the risk of diseases such as Alzheimer’s.
3. Reduce bad cholesterol levels.
Studies have shown that apples are the “miracle fruit” because eating them reduces bad cholesterol by 23% and increases good cholesterol by 4% after six months of consumption.
4. Reduce the risk of diabetes.
People who eat 3 servings a week of apples, grapes, and raisins are 7% less likely to develop type 2 diabetes than those who abstain from fruit and eat sweets rich in sugar and saturated fat.
5. Breast Cancer Prevention.
Increased consumption of fruits and vegetables, especially apples, provides consumers with more “phenols” which have been shown to have important health benefits, especially in breast cancer prevention.
