Why You Should Eat More Apples

One medium-sized apple:
  • contains roughly 80 calories and is a good source of vitamin C (15% of the recommended daily intake).
  • contains 4 to 5 g of fibre (often more than a bowl of whole-grain cereal). Of this fibre, 80% is pectin, which helps reduce cholesterol levels.
  • contains no fat or sodium.
  • is a great source of flavonoids, a plant compound with disease-fighting antioxidants.
  • is a natural energy booster, with 21 g of complex carbohydrates.
  • contains potassium, which helps control blood pressure and helps reduce the risk of stroke.
  • provides boron, an element that helps make bones healthy and strong.
  • eaten after a meal will cleanse your mouth of more than 95% of the bacteria that causes tooth decay.
