What are some of the health benefits of eating apples?
If you are an apple lover, as we all are, you’re getting more than a delicious treat. According to recent studies published by Mayo Clinic, apples are loaded with powerful antioxidant nutrients called flavenoids and polyphenols-collectively known as phytochemicals-that may help prevent or fight cancer. Don’t forget, too, apples, especially with their peelings, are chock full of fiber and vitamins. Increasingly, we are finding “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” is an old adage that proves true for modern times.
