BENEFITS: Apples are naturally free of fat, cholesterol, and sodium and a low calorie, yet nutrient dense food. Apples contain a powerful antioxidant, called quercetin, found to protect brain cells during oxidation. Quercetin is believed to block free radicals from damaging brain cells, as well as other types of cells. The skin of the apple contains most of its quercetin so it’s important to eat the entire apple to reap it’s brain boosting benefits. Other studies have linked apples to reducing memory loss and the onset of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
We are all familiar with the classic Granny Smith green apple that is commonly found in some apple pie. We love these apples because they are so amazing for your skin, hair, and overall health. Some even say they are considered to be the healthiest fruit because of all of the crazy benefits. Guess they were right, an apple a day keeps a doctor away.
Fiber, iron, zinc, copper, magnesium are only some of the amazing things that green apples have. Studies have also shown that green apples help prevent skin cancer because of the amount of vitamin C it has. Don’t go crazy, there are plenty of other vitamin C dense fruits we love too. We call this skin food because it has vitamin B, A, and C which help prevent free radicals that will radically mess up your skin.
