While they might not have the superstar image of the acai berry, they are cheaper — and just as nutrition packed! Chock-full of fiber, apples can help bring down lousy (LDL) cholesterol and C-reactive protein, an inflammatory marker associated with heart disease.
Perhaps that’s why people who regularly consume apples, apple juice and applesauce have a significantly lower risk of metabolic syndrome. This wonder fruit is also good for the colon. Polyphenols and fiber in apples have been shown to prevent colon cancer..so eat that peel!!
Speaking of apples, I'm eating a Golden Delicious (purchased on campus) right now!
