Apples are not only diuretic and laxative, but also help eliminate blood sugar and cholesterol. A real muscle energizer, apples act effectively on our nerve fibers and also combat high blood pressure. Like grapes, apples are one of the most beneficial fruits for the body.
This is due to the presence of vitamin C (5g/100g), fiber and, of course, pectins. The high fiber content (2.5g/100g) has a direct effect on intestinal transit. So, like carrots, apples combat childhood diarrhea.
Rich in vitamins A, B (0.2g/100g), E (0.6g/100g), P and trace elements, this fruit will calm your hunger without making you gain a gram. With its 85% water content, it's also very refreshing.
Its other properties help defend against cancer, cardiovascular disease and asthma.
To preserve all the benefits of this fruit, don't peel the apple: the skin alone contains 4 to 5 times more vitamin C than the pulp, and is bursting with antioxidants.
