Inspirational Note on health benefits...

In this section we are going to talk about the health benefits of the main ingredient apples. Let's see what The Condensed Encyclopedia of Healing Foods (by Michael T. Murray, Joseph Pizzorno, Lara Pizzorno) says about it.

According to it “In an analysis of more than eighty-five studies, apple consumption was shown to be consistently associated with a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, asthma, and type 2 diabetes compared to other fruits and vegetables… Apples are also very high in pectin, a soluble fiber that has been shown to exert a number of beneficial effects. Because it is a gel-forming fiber, pectin can lower cholesterol levels as well as improve the intestinal muscle’s ability to push waste through the gastrointestinal  tract.”(Read more...)
