Apples are awesome! They are delicious, refreshing and, according to studies, they give tons of good nutrients that can help you regulate your appetite, prevent illness, and build muscles. Whether you're an apple lover or someone who just want to add to his or her fruit consumption, here are some reasons why you should eat more apples:
i. Apples reduces your bad cholesterols
Studies have found that eating apples, reduces the level of oxidized LDL(low-density lipoprotein), a type of cholesterol that is likely to promote inflammation than unoxidized LDL. When LDL become oxidized, it takes on a form that begins atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, which can lead to peripheral artery disease, blindness, erectile dysfunction and some life-threatening diseases.
ii. Apples Can help build muscles and prevent obesity
Ursolic acid found in apple peel, helps protect against obesity. Ursolic acid increases skeletal muscle and brown fat leading to increased calorie burning, which in turn protects against diet-induced obesity, pre-diabeties and fatty liver disease.
iii. Apples help sharpen your memory
Studies have found that apple increases the level of Acetlycholine, a vital neurotransmitter.
Neurotransmitters are chemicals released by nerve cells to transmit messages to other nerve cells. Such communication between nerve cells is vital for good health, not just in the brain, but throughout the body.
iv. Apples help in appetite control.
Apples are very high in diet fibre. It typically contains 6 grams of diet fibre, almost a quarter of your recommended daily value.
A high diet fibre can help so many ways: it can can help normalize bowel movement, control blood sugar, lower cholesterol and help in achieving healthy weight.
v. Apple increases energy
Apples are great source of simple carbohydrates, which can be turned into energy quickly. Apples are great choice for afternoon or pre-workout snacks.
