Apples give you energy and vitality. For many people, the apple is a daily morning routine, just like coffee. In fact, it contains no caffeine, but it is rich in fructose, a natural low-glycemic-index sugar that is an excellent source of energy for the body. So when you feel tired and/or exhausted, you can eat apples to get energy and return to normal.

Apples contain kercetin, a very powerful antioxidant that acts as a protection against cardiovascular disease and respiratory problems.

Boosts the immune system: If you think that vitamin C is found only in oranges, you will be amazed at the apple's content of this valuable nutrient. One apple a day provides you with 8.4 mg of vitamin C, which corresponds to 14% of your recommended daily intake. At the same time, you will benefit from a variety of compounds called polyphenols, which have a strong antioxidant effect and, together with vitamin C, support the body's defenses and fight free radicals.

The soluble fiber in apples has been shown in scientific studies to reduce blood cholesterol levels, especially the bad LDL cholesterol. This is mainly due to increased excretion of bile salts but also to the pectin content. 

Reduces the risk of diabetes: the flavonoids, polyphenols and pectin in apples affect glucose metabolism and help to maintain desirable blood sugar levels.

Protects cells: The apple protects against cellular damage (oxidative stress) associated with various diseases and promotes cellular health that is today threatened by many factors. It promotes healthy and shiny teeth: Chewing the apple, especially with its peel, can serve as an excellent natural mouth cleanser that helps with oral hygiene and teeth whitening.
