That old saying “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” may have some truth to it. Apples offer many nutrients and plant compounds that help support whole body health:
- Fiber – a nutrient that helps lower blood cholesterol and helps regulate blood sugar
- Quercetin – a compound that may offer antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects
- Potassium – a mineral that supports a healthy blood pressure
- Vitamin C – a nutrient that supports immune health and acts as an antioxidant
- Water – supports hydration and promotes a feeling of fullness
So, treat yourself and your family to the season’s best apples—there are so many delicious varieties and countless ways to enjoy them.
