The power of apple

Labels: , , , , Posted by Vina Revi on Tuesday, June 26, 2007 at 10:36 AM

I should say, apple is an A+ food for your health.
According to a number of research studies, eating an apple a day can protect yourself from heart disease.

Apple is brimming with fiber called pectin and phyto-chemicals. Pectin lowers cholesterol level by binding it in the intestines keeping it from entering your system. Further components of the apple called flavonoids (a kind of phyto-chemicals) has been proven to be lowering the risk of heart disease.

Good news for apple lover : snack on apples anytime!
A study in Netherlands found that a ground of elderly men who ate at least an apple a day slash their risk for dying of heart disease by 50%.

So apple anyone?
