Apple-solutely Nutritious

Not only do apples support gut health, brain health, and lasting energy, they are also:

accessible, affordable, sustainable, versatile, with the added benefit of being good for the land and supportive of our farmers. So many reasons to #EatMoreApples!

Fiber

Apples strongly support GUT HEALTH by providing you with up to 20% of your daily needs for fiber - in just one medium apple.

What makes an apple unique: it contains 2 kinds of fiber - soluble fiber in the flesh and insoluble fiber in the skin - so they work together to improve digestion and clean out of the gut. Soluble fiber absorbs water, collecting what the intestines do not need. Insoluble fiber does not absorb water, and is responsible for moving though the gut.

Gut health is associated with:

increased mental health
better quality immune system function
less bloating
better supported microbiome for all other functions

Daily Fiber intake supports:

lowering LDL cholesterol; a healthier level of all blood fats
a feeling of fullness
slower uptake in absorption of food
may help prevent some cancers, such as colon cancer

Antioxidants

Apples contain a specific antioxidant called quercetin. Antioxidants work to fight free-radicals that damage cells.

Eat a regular diet rich in antioxidants may help:

supports brain health
reduces inflammation
improves blood flow
fights diseases attacking the body
support anti-aging

Electrolytes

Apples are a great source of natural energy. Being 80% water, they provide hydration with the perfect package of electrolytes.

Each apple is about: 100 calories

Electrolytes: potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sodum

They provide good carbohydrate that the brain needs in the perfect package of fiber and electrolytes, so that energy is slow-released. A sweet snack without a sugar crash!
