An Apple A Day Keeps the Belly Away

Robert C. Griffin Jr.

      

    You heard many times when you were a child that “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”... And behind this saying there is a lot of truth!  Eating at least one apple a day can help you to be healthy and lose fat, mainly around your stomach!

Apples Help Weight Loss...

     One of the best ways to lose weight is to feel yourself full. Simply, if you are not hungry, you do not want to eat more. Apples contain a lot of fiber, the bigger ones nearly 5 grams. This way, after having apples, because of the high level of fiber, you feel yourself satisfied, so you will not eat more. You can reduce your calorie intake in a healthy way.
     Another benefit is that they contain a lot of pectin, at least 1%. Apples are the best source of pectin after citrus peels (containing 30%... but don't eat orange peel though). This nutrient restricts the cells that absorb fat, and helps your body remove fat from the cells. It also encourages your body to get the water out from foods. Finally, it also contains polyphenols which are said to boost metabolism.

Important...

     Most of the health benefits of apples are in the skin. Therefore, you should eat it. The problem is that most of the apples are sprayed with pesticides. The best would be to buy apples from bio farms. If it is possible, buy them from local farmers who you trust. If you purchase from other places, always wash the apples before eating.
