Apples are rich in antioxidants, fiber, and phytonutrients. A 2011 review of research concluded that apples could help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, and asthma. Researchers also noted that they could improve outcomes related to Alzheimer’s disease, cognitive decline of normal aging, diabetes, weight management, and bone health.
A very good reason to have an apple on a regular basis as part of your 5 a day.
My favourite at this time of the year is the Cox, but any variety will do. Even cooked apple are good for you and I love a delicious apple compote spiced iwth cinnamon,ginger and cardamonn as a dessert or in the morning.
