Importance Of Apple Here are ten good reasons why that platitude ‘An apple a day keeps the doctor way’ even exists in the first place! 1. First, the most important - eating around three apples a day when you are dieting not only kills your appetite for junk, but also helps you lose weight. Apples have a low calorie-content and virtually no fat! 2. Apples contain ‘pectin’, a complex carbohydrate, which helps lower your cholesterol level. 3. Apples are great for your gums and teeth. 4. Apples contain antioxidants that are said to prevent the risk for breast cancer, colon cancer, liver cancer and lung cancer. 5. Apples aid digestion. Is that oily food you’re consuming that’s bound to give you acidity? Balance it by beginning the meal with an apple! 6. The phenolics (naturally occurring antioxidants) in an apple can prevent the manifestation of neuro-degenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. 7. Apples are good for your bones and prevent osteoporosis in menopausal women. 8. The pectin in apples once again comes to your rescue by managing diabetes and asthma. 9. Flavanoids are chemicals in an apple that are far superior to plain old Vitamin C and work harder by reducing your heart disease and stroke risk by almost 26%! 10. Apple products contain fruit sugars that are an instant source of energy. The next time you need a jolt, just have some fresh apple juice, yes? A word of caution – before eating an apple, wash it carefully as it is probably treated with pesticides and polished with wax.
