The Health Benefits of Apples
Everyone knows "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." This is true for many reasons. Apples contain flavonoids called floridzin as well as boron that both promote bone health. Apples have also been found to help with asthma, lower cholesterol, and lower the risk of Alzheimer's and several cancers. Pectin found in apples can also help manage diabetes. Apples have no fat, cholesterol or sodium, and contain small amounts of potassium, which may promote heart health and help maintain healthy blood pressure.
