2. "An apple a day keeps, the doctor
away" is a common English-language
proverb that appeared in the 19th
century, advocating for the
consumption of apples, and by
extension, "if one eats healthy foods,
one will remain in good health and will
not need to see the doctor often."
4. 1. Apples are rich in antioxidants
which are substances that protect
your cells against free radical
damage caused by factors such as
pollution, UV rays, and even
inflammation within the body that
may play a role in heart disease,
cancer and other diseases.
5. 2. When it comes to cholesterol, an article
published by verywellhealth.com advises
that you would need to eat two to three
apples a day to see an improvement in your
lipid profile. Apples are a good food to
include within a cholesterol-lowering diet
due to the apples being dense in cholesterol-
friendly nutrients such as fibre and
polyphenols.
6. 3. The fibre found in apples is a soluble
fibre called Pectin and it can support a
healthy digestive system. Its soluble
nature can bind cholesterol or toxins in
the body and eliminate them from your
system. Pectin can also provide relief
from both constipation and diarrhea,
depending on the body’s needs.
7. 4. Finally, apples are low on the
glycaemic index due to their fibre
content. This combined with their
high flavonoid content may help to
improve insulin sensitivity which is
an important area in preventing
diabetes.
9. A medium apple weighs in at
approximately 182 grams. It is
generally advised to eat a
minimum of 5 different portions
of fruit and vegetables each day
and 80 grams equals one portion.
10. One medium apple contains the following
nutritional value:
Calories: 95g
Carbs: 25g
Fat: 0g
Protein: 1g
Sugar: 13g (naturally occurring)
Fibre: 4g
Vitamin C: 14% of the Nutrient Reference Value (NRV)
Potassium: 6% of the NRV
11. Due to the naturally occurring sugar, apples
are a great food to eat to help you wake up in
the morning. Although apples contain no
caffeine, they are more effective than coffee
as the sugars provoke a similar response. The
vitamins from the apple are released slowly
throughout the body, making you feel more
awake and providing you with sustained
energy throughout the day.
13. By themselves, the simple answer is no.
However, when eaten as part of a well-
balanced diet they offer a number of health
benefits and have a great nutritional value.
The nutrient dense fruit can assist in several
areas with our body’s daily functions and are
cheap and readily available in the UK,
meaning there’s no excuse to not eat an
apple a day!
14. How important it is to include
an apple in a child’s daily diet?
15. Now a days many diseases are spreading and one
of the vulnerable in getting deseases are children
they can easily get any kind of viruses. So it is
important to include apples in the daily diet of
children because, it provides many vitamins and
nutrients. It can be used to boost the immune
system of children. It can also be used to fight
diseases. Just like the saying goes "An apple a day
keeps the doctor away."
