New Delhi, November 18 (IANS). Apple is such a fruit that if you eat it daily, you will not need to go to the doctor soon, because it contains vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants in abundance.
First of all, if we talk about digestion, the soluble fiber called pectin present in apple cleans the intestines, strengthens digestion and provides relief from problems like constipation and gas. Apple is considered very beneficial for those who often suffer from upset stomach or irregular digestion.
This fruit also acts as a shield for the heart, because the fiber present in it helps in reducing bad cholesterol and maintains better blood flow. This can reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke.
It is also very beneficial in weight loss. Apple is low in calories and eating it keeps the stomach full for a long time, which controls the habit of eating again and again. This is a great option for those who are on a weight loss diet.
Apple also increases blood sugar slowly, so people with diabetes can eat it in limited quantities. It keeps their hunger satiated and also gives them energy. This fruit is also considered amazing for the brain, because its antioxidants protect brain cells from damage and help in improving memory.
Talking about skin and hair, Vitamin C present in apple gives glow to the skin, reduces wrinkles and is also considered helpful in controlling hair fall. Its regular consumption also increases immunity, due to which the body is able to fight infections better.
It is considered better to eat apple with peel, because most of the fiber is in the peel. You can eat one to two small or medium sized apples a day.
