Apple consumption has been studied and “an apple a day” can help people eat overall less calories, which contributes to weight loss. Plus, apple eating is linked to lower cholesterol and blood pressure, less instances of stroke and heart attack, a lower risk for Type 2 diabetes (due to their low glycemic index) and asthma, and, amazingly, lower rates of death from cancer. In terms of prevention, they are hugely successful fruits. Additionally, eating apples increases calcium absorption, which improves bone health and memory function.
