Apples are a healthy food choice. Studies prove it. Red Delicious and Granny Smith Apples are especially high in antioxidants—compounds that help prevent and repair cell damage. Apples are high in pectin, a soluble, fermentable fiber with a long list of health benefits. Apples may help fight brain aging, Parkinson’s disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes, and obesity; they may prevent gallstones, lower cholesterol, help keep bowels regular, detoxify your liver, prevent tooth decay, boost your immune system and prevent cataracts.
