The apple fruit is considered the
king of fruits. The apple is a fleshy fruit from the apple tree. It
is in the species Malus domestica in the rose family Rosaceae. The apple is one
of the most grown tree fruits. It is grown in orchards. Its
tree is thought to have originated in nutrient-rich mountain ranges of
Kazakhstan. Today, it is
being cultivated in many parts of the world including the US as an important
commercial crop.
Red apples
contain an antioxidant called quercetin. Recent studies have
found that quercetin can help boost and fortify your immune system, especially
when you're stressed out.
An
extensive body of research has linked high soluble fiber intake with a slower
buildup of cholesterol-rich plaque in your arteries. The phenolic compound
found in apple skins also prevents the cholesterol that gets into your system
from solidifying on your artery walls. When plaque builds inside your
arteries, it reduces blood flow to your heart, leading to coronary artery
disease.
Apples are very
good for one's health. An English saying is:
"An apple a day keeps the doctor away." Actually, an apple is good
for one's digestion, and also has important vitamins and minerals. Apples also
help to clean one's teeth after a meal. An apple won’t replace your toothbrush,
but biting and chewing an apple stimulates the production of saliva in your
mouth, reducing tooth decay by lowering the levels of bacteria. No other fruit
has so many good qualities. Therefore, it is not surprising that the apple is
regarded as the "King" of all fruits.
Apple is an
amazing fruit; its fiber provides cardiovascular benefits, and the interaction
of fiber with other nutrients in this wonderful fruit give our body the best
health benefits. The skin of the apple is rich in nutrients.
When we make an apple pie, even if the recipe we have chosen requires peeled
apples, consider leaving the skins on to receive the unique benefits found in the
whole apple. It is a good idea to prevent browning when slicing apples for a
recipe. In order to avoid this to happen, simply put the slices
in a bowl of cold water to which a spoonful of lemon.
In summary, this
king apple came to America. When America was first discovered, the apple
was already an important fruit in European lands. The British and the Dutch
brought the apple to "New England" and to "New Amsterdam"
(New York); the French brought the apple to Canada. From the Atlantic States the
apple quickly spread to all of America. Apple is definitely a king; it is in
the market all over the world. When you feel hungry; have some apple! Better health
could be as easy as reaching for the fruit bowl for some apples next time you
need a snack.
