It is common
proverb that an apple keeps a doctor away. There are multiple health benefits
of apple. It gives you whiter teeth, reduces the risk of stroke, improves
stamina, etc. You can have apple juice and eat apple directly.
Get whiter,
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.
Prevent
dementia:- It is the
main benefit of dementia. Researchers at Cornell University conducted a study,
published in the Journal of Food Science, which found evidence to suggest that
apples may help "protect neuron cells against oxidative stress-induced
neurotoxicity", which could reduce the risk of developing neurodegenerative
disorders such as Alzheimer's disease.
Reduce your
risk of stroke:-A study involving 9,208 men and women showed that those who ate
the most apples over a 28-year period had the lowest risk for stroke. The
researchers concluded "the results suggest that the intake of apples is
related to a decreased risk of thrombotic stroke."4
Exercise
Extender:-It is one of the most discussed benefits of Apple. Eating an apple
before you work out may boost your exercise endurance. Apples deliver an
antioxidant called quercetin, which aids endurance by making oxygen more
available to the lungs. One study showed that quercetin—when taken in
supplement form—helped people bike longer.
Diabetes:-Three
servings of apples (and other fruits, such as blueberries and grapes) is linked
to a 7 percent lower risk of type 2 diabetes.This may be due to their
beneficial role in blood sugar regulation, as apples contain compounds that
may.
Cancer:-Apples have
a number of properties that may help reduce the risk of cancer, including
antimutagenic activity, antioxidant activity, anti-inflammatory mechanisms,
antiproliferative and apoptosis-inducing activity, as well as "novel
mechanisms on epigenetic events and innate immunity." According to the
journal Planta Medica.
Contain Vitamin C:-Apple fruit
contains good quantities of vitamin-C and beta-carotene. Vitamin C is a
powerful natural antioxidant. Consumption of foods rich in vitamin C helps the
body develop resistance against infectious agents and scavenge harmful,
pro-inflammatory free radicals from the body.
Vitamin A:-Apples
provide a small amount of skin-friendly vitamin A, a family of chemicals called
retinoids. Vitamin A plays an important role in skin development -- it helps
immature skin develop into mature and functional skin tissue. Vitamin A might
also reduce the risk of skin cancer, according to the Linus Pauling Institute,
although more research is needed to know its exact role in cancer prevention. A
large apple provides 120 international units of vitamin A. According to the
Linus Pauling Institute, this makes up 5 percent of the daily vitamin A
requirements for women or 4 percent for men.
