“An apple a day keeps the doctor away” is not a mere saying. The apple is an enjoyable and nutritious fruit and also a great source of fiber and Vitamin C. One apple can help provide some of the Vitamin B1 for growth and development, Vitamin B6 for protein metabolism, and antioxidants your body needs.

In case you forgot, the antioxidants protect your cells from free radicles – which are harmful molecules that can contribute to the development of chronic conditions, like heart disease and cancer, and unhealthy aging.

So, not only are apples touted as the most widely consumed fruit globally, research has shown that apples may also help with weight loss and improve your gut and brain health. Because of the fiber, apples can help you feel full longer when you need something to snack on between meals. Well then, enough said, especially if you like apples. But if they are not your fruit of choice, the next time you’re in the grocery store, and you look at the apples, select a few and add them to your diet.
