Apples ; It really keeps the doctor away


So, I bet we all have heard that saying that goes something like 'an apple a day keeps the doctor away'. Well, it's not just what has been said, it is what has been a proven fact. Apples are said to eliminate body's excessive acids, effectively tones down a case of acidosis, rheumatism, jaundice,skin disorders, liver problems and gallbladder problems.Some more of apples(I think it doesn't matter what color it is as long as it's organic or wash thoroughly off pesticides) benefits:

Apples keeps the cardiovascular system healthy and cuts down cholesterol level in the blood.Studies showed that upon regular apple consumption, the level of LDL(bad) cholesterol is reduced while HDL(good) cholesterol is raised.
It's pectin content(gained mostly from the skin) is a soluble fiber that acts as a cholesterol absorber for elimination, however don't go in search for pectin supplements, mysteriously or maybe a synergistic correlation between other of apple's nutrients , it works effectively only when you get it from the apple. So, take an apple at least per day.


Stabilizes Blood Sugar and Blood Pressure

Even with it's natural content of sugar, apples does not contribute to a raised of sugar level in the blood, instead it does the opposite. It may be a help in managing sugar levels for those with diabetes,as it stabilizes insulin production.
