6 Health Benefits Of Eating Apples

Have you been apple picking yet this fall? Apples are quite possibly the perfect food. Super healthy and absolutely delicious! I’m partial to fujis and pink ladies. While at a friend’s house, my son recently discovered how much he likes a baked apple. Just a fresh apple, baked – no sugar or anything added to make it unhealthy. I’ll have to do that for him.

One important note about apples: stay away from conventionally grown. They are on the Dirty Dozen list because they are heavily doused with pesticides. Go for organic and always give all fruits and vegetables a thorough washing before you eat them because they can have parasites that cause illness.

An apple a day may actually keep the doctor away 😉

  • Quercetin found in red apples boost your immune system and may even help curb allergies
  • The flavonols in apples cut your risk of cancer
  • Apples have disease fighting antioxidants that help repair and prevent oxidation damage during cell activity
  • They are loaded with pectin, a soluble fiber. When in the intestine, soluble fiber binds with fat so it helps keep your weight and cholesterol in check
  • They are a good source of vitamins C & A and they contain a good amount of phytonutrients
  • According to the British Medical Journal, eating at least 2 servings each week helps slash your chance of developing type 2 diabetes by 23%
