With a functional food that is available all year around,this is an excellent opportunity to discuss the beneficial properties of a popular fruit apple. Apples are composed with a very important source of phytochemical call phenolic compounds which are antioxidant and possess chemotherapy proprieties. Phytochemical are molecules with positive health properties. Furthermore,one apple (1/4 pound) has 1,500 milligram of vitamin C. No doubt,the regular consumption can have numerous health benefits.
A epidemiological study at the Brigham and Woman’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School conducted among 125,000 American showed a reduced of 20% less chance of developing lung cancer for none smoker who regularly consumed one apple per day. A similar study was observed in Finland on elderly peoples.
However,it is important to note that the strong antioxidant activity depends on eating whole fruit (except the cork). You need to eat the fruit unpeeled.
The phytochemical of the apple are indeed in much higher concentration in the skin than in its flesh and peeling apples cuts in half their antioxidant potential. The reason is quit simple;the apple protects itself by chemical warfare against insects,bacteria and fungus. The first line of defense,since the apple can not run away is its peel where the fruit pack its defense. In addition to their strong antioxidant activity,multiple cancer research laboratories have shown that the apple phytochemical have the capacity to interfere with the 4 basic processes involved in the development of cancer.
