Apples

I had a love-hate relationship with apples growing up. I loved eating them, but I hated being assigned to the chore of picking up the rotten ones that had fallen from the several apple trees in our country house yard. But I never lost my taste for them, which may be one of the reasons my health didn’t completely fall apart during my first twenty-five years of life when sweets and processed foods were the mainstay of my diet.

At the risk of being predictable, the old adage “An apple away keeps the doctor away” now has scientific research behind it. Even better, apples are easy to find (at least in the U.S.) and available year-round – although they are definitely tastier during the fall and winter.

Nutrients in apples

• Vitamin C. Although the amount is much less than in an orange, it’s enough to give your immune system a nice boost, especially if you eat more than one in a day.
• Fiber, which helps keep your colon clean.
• Phytonutrients, which give it a healthy antioxidant value.

Health benefits of apples

• Improve heart health. The fiber aids in regulating cholesterol levels, the antioxidants help keep the circulation healthy, and the flavonoids keep your blood and blood pressure healthy.
• Reduce cancer risk. Studies strongly suggest that people who eat apples have a much lower risk of developing certain types of cancer.
• Protect against asthma. Certain flavonoids unique to apples help to support lung function.

Knowing all this, do you think the apple would be a worthy supplement to your diet? Definitely yes, especially if it is used in conjunction with other superfoods that provide a variety of nutrients and health benefits.
