Benefits of ApplesThe Benefits of Apples
Apples have a lot of goodness nutritionally. Let's take a look at some of the benefits of apples that support your health. One of the strengths of apples is that they help with constipation and diarrhea. Eating an uncooked apple daily will help the bowels to evacuate properly and cooked apples help to control diarrhea. This is because the ingredient cellulose contained in an apple creates bulk. As the apples are cooking, the cellulose is brought out. Apples are iron rich, and as a result, are good natural remedy for anemia. In order to get the full benefits of apples here, you'll need to eat at least three apples daily. Eating an apple with the skin, (since the skin has the most fiber), can greatly help lower your cholesterol levels. The pectin in apples is within the skin, and by consuming the skin portion instead of peeling it away, you'll likely see a reduced cholesterol level of at least 10%.
Procyanidins are another compound found in apples. This compound has been found to greatly reduce heart disease and helps to avoid hardening of the arteries. If you have chronic headaches, and take off the rind on the upper part of your apple, core it, then put a little bit of salt on it, it will reduce the pain of your headache and is just as good as an aspirin. It works well when you are fasting better than any other time. Do this continually every day, and you'll likely find your chronic headaches much better. Apples may help with gout. It has been known that an apple has curative properties, (which is malic acid), that breaks down uric acid. So if your gout is at all due to uric acid, apples may help to clear up the problem. Coughing may be helped by an apple as well. It is the sweet apple that does the most good such as Red Delicious apples. If you are to add honey to an apple, it may help any type of heart disorder you have. This remedy is from the old school.
