Let's have a look on this....

In 2004, USDA scientists investigated over 100 foods to measure their antioxidant concentration per serving size. Two apples 'Red Delicious and Granny Smith' ranked 12th and 13th respectively. Antioxidants are disease-fighting compounds and today's health conscious world it is quite common and you are be hearing it daily and seeing even in daily newspapers. Scientists believe these compounds help prevent and repair oxidation damage that happens during normal cell activity. Apples are also full of a fibre called pectin – a medium-sized apple contains about 4 grams of fibre. Pectin is classed as a soluble, fermentable and viscous fibre, a combination that gives it a huge list of health benefits.

Before you know about benefits of eating apples, let’s know about apple nutritional value. Apples contain plenty of antioxidants like flavonoids, polyphenols, and vitamin C that help protect the body against harmful bacteria and viruses. Moreover, the beta carotene in it has anti-cancer and anti-cholesterol properties. It is also an excellent source of B-complex vitamins like Thiamine, Riboflavin, Pyridoxine.

   HEALTH BENEFITS OF APPLE  🍎🍎🍎🍎

1). Curbs all types of cancer (Anti-Cancer) 🍎~

Apples have potent anti-cancer abilities that protect the body from the life-sucking cancerous cells. This is one of the most important apple advantages. Scientists from the American Association for Cancer Research, among others agree that the consumption of flavones-rich apples could help reduce your risk of developing pancreatic cancer by up to 23 percent. And several compounds enclosed in apple peels called triterpenoids, showed potential to anti-growth activities in liver, colon and breast against cancer cells as identified by researchers at Cornell University.
In addition, colorectal cancer can be beaten with intake of fibers. So the next time you chuck the peels of an apple in the garbage, think of the nutritious value in them!
Their earlier research found that extracts from whole apples can reduce the number and size of mammary tumours in rats. Meanwhile, the National Cancer Institute in the U.S. has recommended a high fibre intake to reduce the risk of colorectal cancer.

2). Anti-cholesterol 🍎~

Apples have high amounts of fiber. When we eat apples, the soluble fibers compete with fats in the intestine. This competition between fibers and fats result in the decrease of absorption of LDL low-density lipoprotein or bad cholesterol levels and increase in absorption of HDL high-density lipoprotein or good cholesterol. This how apples and cholesterol levels control in the body is connected.The soluble fibre found in apples binds with fats in the intestine, which translates into lower cholesterol levels and a healthier you.

3). For 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.

4). Boost immunity 🍎~

Apples have an antioxidant known as quercetin which is especially found in red delicious apples. This antioxidant boosts the immune system to build the natural defenses of the body. The other nutrient present in an apple is vitamin C that has anti-inflammatory properties. Fibers also enhance the immune system. It is because of this that apples are considered to be high immunity boosters.
Recent studies have found that quercetin can help boost and fortify your immune system, especially when you’re stressed out.

 5). Prevention of Alzheimer's 🍎~

An experiment performed on mice found that apple consumption in the regular diet results in higher doses of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Also, in Alzheimer’s, the nerve cells of the brain are damaged, and apple juice which contains flavonoids helps repair the damaged cells. The study performed shows that drinking apple juice could keep Alzheimer’s away and fight the effects of aging on the brain. So, drinking apple juice  can reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s and can battle against the decaying of the brain.
Mice in the study that were fed an apple-enhanced diet showed higher levels of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and did better in maze tests than those on a regular diet.

6). Protection against Parkinson's 🍎~

Research has shown that people who eat fruits and other high-fibre foods gain a certain amount of protection against Parkinson’s, a disease characterized by a breakdown of the brain’s dopamine-producing nerve cells. Scientists have linked this to the free radical-fighting power of the antioxidants contained therein.

7). Averting asthma 🍎~

Phytochemicals and polyphenols are the chemicals that give apple its healing properties, which can assist an individual recovering from asthma, breathing problems and improve the general functioning of the lungs.

Research shows that children who consume apple juice regularly showed reduced risks of suffering from asthma attacks and wheezing problems as compared to those who seldom consume apple juice. In contrast, eating whole apples didn’t seem to be of any benefit to the wheezing and asthmatic children.

8). Decrease your risk of diabetes 🍎~

Another important health benefit of apples is that it aids in fighting off oxygen-free radicals that cause diabetes.

9). For 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.

10). Prevent gallstone 🍎~

Gallstones form when there’s too much cholesterol in your bile for it to remain as a liquid, so it solidifies. They are particularly prevalent in the obese.
