Health Benefits
| Apples contain antioxidant phytonutrients which help fight the damaging effects of LDL (bad) cholesterol. Apples also strengthens lung function and can lower the incidence of lung cancer. In addition, apples contain the essential trace element, boron, which has been shown to strengthen bones - a good defense against osteoporosis. The disease-fighting profile of apples provides a multitude of health benefits, including a potential decreased risk of cancer and heart disease. Several recent studies suggest apples may provide a "whole-body" health benefit. A number of components in apples, most notably fiber and phytonutrients have been found in studies to lower blood cholesterol and improve bowel function, and may be associated with a reduced risk of ischemic heart disease, stroke, prostate cancer, type II diabetes and asthma. Preliminary research from Finland indicates diets with the highest intake of apple phytonutrients were associated with a 46 percent reduction in the incidence of lung cancer. |
