Description: Apples are among the world’s most popular fruits and have long been associated with good health.Archeologists have found evidence that humans have been enjoying Apples since at least 6500 B.C. ‘An apple a day keeps the doctor away’. The old rhyme is truer than ever, particularly if the doctor is a gastroenterologist, oncologist or cardiologist. Apples are astringent, diuretic and laxative . Apples regulate the digestive system, preventing constipation and stopping diarrhoea (due to large pectin content), also neutralising the effects of rich fatty foods. They help purify the blood, clear gout and rheumatism and prevent gallstones. They also help to keep the teeth clean. Studies show that apples can reduce blood cholesterol levels, a key risk factor for heart disease and some types of stroke. The antioxidant flavonoides in apples also help prevent the cell damage that causes many cancers. European studies suggest that apple pectin helps eliminate lead, mercury, and other toxic heavy metals from the body. Apple fiber binds with certain malignant-causing compounds in the colon, speeding their elimination from the body.
