Apples promote heart health in several ways, which includes:
- They’re high in soluble fiber, which helps lower cholesterol. They also have polyphenols, which are linked to lower blood pressure and stroke risk.
- Apples are a good source of fiber and vitamin C. They also contain antioxidants, like vitamin E, and polyphenols that contribute to the fruit’s numerous health benefits.
- Apples are particularly filling due to their high fiber and water content. Their polyphenols may also have anti-obesity effects.
- Eating apples is linked to a lower risk of type 2 diabetes, potentially due to their polyphenol content.
