The nutritionist explains that even though apples contain no caffeine, they have natural sugars that will wake you up in the morning. Nmami Agarwal adds the fruit “gives you sustainable energy and has fibre which balances blood sugar levels.”
The benefits of eating apples don’t end here, the list is pretty long.
Have a look:
1. Digestion
Apples contain fibre, which can help improve the process of digestion. Fibre is responsible for smoother bowel movements and it also prevents stomach disorders and constipation.
2. Diabetes
Polyphenols are found in apples, which can help in reducing carb uptake in the body. As the carb uptake is reduced, it prevents fluctuations of blood sugar levels in the bloodstream. In addition, polyphenols help in stimulating insulin receptors in the cells.
3. Anemia
Apples are a rich source of iron, therefore, anaemic patients are suggested to consume this fruit.
4. Weight loss
Wondering how apples aid weight loss? The fibre content in apples can make you feel full and keep you satiated for a longer period.
5. Intestinal Health
Did you know apples improve the functioning of bacteria in large intestines? They keep the metabolism in the digestive tract in check and even flush out harmful toxins from the body.
