There's no easier way to add a dose of nutrition to your day than by crunching on a tasty apple. You probably first experienced its delightful flavor as a baby. And now, whether it's a Granny Smith, a McIntosh, or a Red Delicious, you think of apples as old friends. Grown throughout the world, apples are high in fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They're fat-free, cholesterol-free, and low in sodium. In short, eating apples is a smart part of a healthy lifestyle.
6 ways apples keep you healthy-
· Regulates your day
You don't need to stress over remaining normal any longer. Regardless of whether your concern is visiting the restroom over and over again or not often enough, apples can help. Keeping yourself customary without depending on unsafe intestinal medicines could be as simple as replacing that evening nibble of potato chips or cookies with a fresh, tasty apple. What's more, think about the calories you'll spare.
· Keep your body young-
At this point you realize antioxidants can shield you from a large number of the infections that appear to be a part of aging. Truth be told, such a significant number of individuals are taking supplements for antioxidant protection that it's become a multibillion-dollar industry.
But the evidence is mounting that whole foods can do more for you than pills. The question you need to ask yourself: Why waste money on flavorless supplements when you can get better antioxidant firepower from a sweet, crunchy fruit?
· Cuts your risk of heart disease-
In some cases it's difficult to recall which food is useful for which part of your body. Whenever you get an apple, examine it carefully. It's molded somewhat like a heart - and that should help you with recalling apples are useful for your heart.
· Strikes at the heart of strokes-
Apples are even a smart choice for helping avoid strokes. Scientists aren't sure which ingredient in this multi-talented fruit to credit, but the connection is clear - people who regularly eat apples are less likely to have strokes than people who don't.
· Protects your joints-
`In areas of the world where fruits and vegetables make up a large part of the diet, very few people get arthritis. Compare this to modernized countries where fruits and vegetables have been replaced with fast, processed food and you'll find up to 70 percent of the population suffers from some form of arthritis. Just a coincidence? Not according to nutrition experts. They link this trend in part to boron, a trace mineral many plants, including apples, absorb from the soil.
· Helps you breathe deeply-
Your lungs are assaulted every day by cigarette smoke, air pollution, pollen, and other air-borne nasties.
On top of that perhaps you suffer from asthma, emphysema, or similar lung condition. If all you want to do is take a deep breath, then grab an apple.
Unfortunately, eating apples can't reverse a lung condition you already have, but you just might add a new line of defense against further damage.
· Pantry pointers
Buy apples that are unbruised, firm, and have good color. Take them out of their plastic bag and store them in your refrigerator - loose in the produce bin or in a paper bag is best. And since they will absorb odors, keep them away from strong-smelling foods like garlic and onions.
