i love to eat apples..
but....
What makes apples so great?
hmm...
1. Get whiter and healthier teeth.
An apple won’t replace your
toothbrush, but biting and chewing an apple stimulates
the production
of saliva in your mouth, reducing tooth
decay by lowering the levels
of bacteria.
2. Reduce cholesterol.
The soluble fibre found in apples
binds with fats in the intestine,
which translates into lower cholesterol
levels and a healthier you.
3. Get a healthier heart.
An extensive body of research has
linked high soluble fibre intake
with a slower buildup of cholesterol-rich
plaque in your arteries.
The phenolic compound found in apple skins also prevents the
cholesterol that
gets into your system from solidifying on your artery walls.
When plaque builds inside your arteries, it reduces blood flow to your heart,
leading to coronary artery disease.
. 4. Control your weight.
Many health problems are associated
with being overweight,
among them heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure,
type 2 diabetes and sleep apnea.
To manage your weight and improve your overall
health,
doctors recommend a diet rich in fibre.Foods high in fibre will fill
you up
without costing you too many calories.
5. Decrease your risk of diabetes
Women who eat at least one apple a
day are 28 percent less likely to develop diabetes
than those who don’t eat apples. Apples are
loaded with soluble fibre,
the key to blunting blood sugar swings.
