Apart from being brain healthy, apples are delicious source of fiber (both soluble and insoluble), protect against diseases and improve daily functioning.

  • Weight Loss:  One medium-sized apple provides 5 grams of fiber, equivalent to one bowl of oatmeal. Fiber slows the digestion process & provides the satiety to your brain and helps you moderate your hunger. As a result, you snack less
  • Prevents Cancer: A study published in American Journal of Epidemiology linked Quercetin found in apple to have an anti-cancer effect. Quercetin also protect from prostate and colon cancer by almost 43%
  • Prevents Infection: Apples contain tannins that reduce oxidative damage and have an anti-biotic effect, helping prevent from urinary tract infection (UTI) and gum disease
