  • Apples can be great for boosting your heart health.

    We say so because the fruit contains soluble fiber, which significantly helps lower blood cholesterol levels.

    Furthermore, apple peel contains polyphenols and flavonoids, that are known to reduce blood pressure.

    Studies often link a high intake of flavonoids with reduced risk of stroke, managed blood pressure, and low levels of LDL or bad cholesterol.

    In a particular study, women who ate fresh or peeled apples lost less calcium from their bodies, as compared to the group that consumed no apples at all.

    So, eat apples regularly to keep risk of bone diseases at bay.
