What are the benefits of eating an apple every day? Fiber, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals. Plus, a quick delicious recipe that you’ll love.

benefits of eating an apple every day

You’ve no doubt heard that apples are good for you, but what are the benefits of eating an apple every day? It’s a good question to ask if you’re a fan of apples. Personally, I love the Granny Smith variety. One of my favorite recipes combines Granny Smiths, nut butter, and raw oats. All the fiber and protein in this recipe is a great way to start the day, but you can snack on this recipe any time of day — mid-day, after school, or after dinner for dessert.

There Are Lots of Reasons for Eating Apples

There are lots of ways eating apples supports your overall health and even helps prevent those extra pounds. One of the big ones: Apples contain pectin. Pectin is a prebiotic fiber that feeds the good bacteria in your gut. This fiber is not absorbed by the small intestine and passes into the colon, where it promotes the growth of good bacteria, improving your digestion system, and also helps with constipation.

What are some of the other health benefits of apples? Apples provide antioxidants that help fight free radicals. Free radicals cause damage to the body and can even lead to cancer.

Here’s a highlight of vitamins and minerals in one large Granny Smith apple.
