Benefits of Apples

Bad Cholesterol Can Be Reduced By An Apple Every Day

An apple a day keeps the doctor away seems to be proving right with every passing day as among older people there has been evidence of apples reducing cholesterol, according to a new study.

The study was conducted at the Florida State University where two groups of older women were taken. One group was given dried prunes every single day for about a year and the other group was made to eat an apple every single day.

The results proved to be surprising as there was a 23 per cent reduction in the LDL cholesterol and on the other hand there was a four per cent rise in HDL cholesterol. Losing about 3.3 pounds of weight was also reported by women who added an apple every day.

Dr Bahram H Arjmandi, claimed, “Apples is a miracle fruit. I never expected apple consumption to reduce bad cholesterol to this extent while increasing HDL cholesterol or good cholesterol by about four per cent. Everyone can benefit from consuming apples.”

Apples have been stated to be very beneficial for a long time and with this research these claims seem to be getting stronger every day.
