An apple a day…
Researchers suggest that the strong antioxidant flavonoid compounds found in
apples-quercetin, play a key role by preventing “bad” LDL
cholesterol from oxidizing and triggering a series of events that result in the
buildup of plaque in arteries, as well as inhibiting inflammation and even
preventing cancer. Apples just happen to be rich in pectin, a form of soluble
fiber known to help lower cholesterol and even chelate heavy metals from the
body. Apples also provide a decent amount of vitamin C which is another
antioxidant. Make mine organic.
