An Apple a day keeps the Doctor away

This maxim is a part of our lives for many centuries’ .Ancient civilizations like Romans had a belief that it has several extra ordinary powers in it. Although all the fruits have some intrinsic health beneficial characteristics contained in them but Apple has all those collected in one place. That’s make it very amazing and magical among the fruit family.

Apple is a profuse source of vital minerals like Vitamin C or L-ascorbic acid that really helps to strengthen the immune system reducing and eliminating problems like slow healing process, bleeding gums and alike. Deficiency in Vitamin C results into Scurvy, an avitaminosis causing the formation of brownish spots on the skin, gum issue and bleeding problems from all mucous membranes.

Vitamin C is an excellent antioxidant and is found very beneficial as a cell detoxifier and for enzymatic functionality. Apples also comprise of bioflavonoids, which are found to be very useful as far as their antioxidant character is concerned. Bioflavonoids are considered to be helpful in the avoidance and treatment of several cases of cancers by applying procedures that kill cancerous cells and impede tumor growth.

Research shows that daily Apple usage help prevents both cardiovascular illnesses and coronary heart problems because of rich nature of Apples in flavonoid, which are used for their antioxidant effect.

For those who are fans of chocolate bars and candies, the good news is that Apple contains same amount of sugar with some fraction of calories contained in a dark chocolate bar making it a good energy diet after hectic and muscular workout without taking-on extra calories when on diet.

A somewhat hidden fact, at least for some people that it has tremendous effects on mental health making it a complete savior when to relax and get rid of tense nerves. It prevents from Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, Adjustment and cognitive disorders.

And of many benefits of Apples which I like to share with the people is that it a gift of nature for people with some sort of respiratory difficulties because it reduces respiratory problems like asthma. So strengthening the lungs capability to inhale and exhale properly and reduce the effects of age on the working ability of respiratory system.

One more thing that is of sheer importance about the usage and fetching out benefits from eating Apples is that you must eat it along with its peel as most of its essence is contained in the peel.

So truly said:

“Eat an apple on going to bed, and you'll keep the doctor from earning his bread”
