Starting Off With Apple Nutrition

By Jessie Atkinson


One of the most common fruits in the American diet is Apples and if you are not already including apples as part of your daily diet you could be missing out.

Have you ever heard someone say an apple a day keeps the doctor away? Once you take a closer look at some of the health benefits of apples, you might see more clearly.

Apples come in a wide variety such as granny smith, honey crisp, Fuji, gala, red delicious and more. Everyone seems to have their favorite as apples can vary widely in flavor from the super sweet to the tart.

Apples actually come from the Rose family of plants, in general they are red or green in color, sometimes pink or even a combination of colors. They are round of course, and are mostly eaten raw or sometimes made in to a pie.

Besides their great taste, they come with an anti-cancer benefit too. They are loaded with flavonoids, especially in their skins, which help to reduce the risk of colon cancer, breast cancer and others.
