Can an apple a day really keep the doctor away?
Summary
Apples offer significant health benefits, particularly due to their high levels of antioxidants and soluble fiber. Flavonoids in apples help reduce inflammation and oxidative damage, lowering the risk of cancers, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease. Notably, two-thirds of these antioxidants are concentrated in the peel. The soluble fiber in apples aids in lowering cholesterol by binding to it during digestion and also promotes satiety, which helps with weight management. Consuming an apple daily has been shown to decrease C-reactive protein levels, a marker of inflammation, by 32% over a six-month period. Additionally, for individuals over 50 without existing heart disease, eating an apple daily may be as effective as taking a statin in preventing death from heart attack, stroke, and vascular disease.
