The saying “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” might be true for some! Very soon in Malaysia, there will be fresh Apples from Poland in the largest grocery stores and the insiders tell me, they could be the best apples in the world.
Did you know? The best part of apples actually hides in the skin, but usually, the skin is full of pesticides so it’s better to peel it off. Having pesticide-free apples from Poland in Malaysia lets every Malaysian enjoy the full benefits of the nutritious fruit. They are produced under the highest standards required by European Union. So what are some of the best health benefits from Apples?
- Promotes healthy weight loss – The fiber can slow digestion so you feel fuller after eating. This can keep you from overeating.
- Lowers cholesterol – Although you would need to eat up to two or three medium apples a day to see a slight improvement in your lipid profile, apples are still a good food to include in your cholesterol-lowering diet due to the fact that they are high in healthy nutrients — including cholesterol-friendly nutrients such as fiber and polyphenols — and low in fat. In order to get all of the healthy nutrients contained in apples, you should eat the entire apple, including the peel, which is high in pectin and other soluble fibers.
- Prevents cancer – Some studies show that plant chemicals and the fiber of an apple peel protect against blood vessel and heart damage. They also can help lower your cholesterol, and they might protect your cells’ DNA from something called oxidative damage, which is one of the things that can lead to cancer.
- Aids digestion – Eating fiber-rich foods helps control symptoms and lessens the effects of acid reflux. An apple’s fiber can also help with diarrhea and constipation.
- Supports gut health – Apples contain pectin, a type of fiber that acts as a prebiotic. This means it feeds your gut microbiota, which is the good bacteria in your gut. Being involved in many functions related to both health and disease, your gut microbiota plays an essential role in your overall well-being.
