When was the last time you had an apple? A new research found that an apple a day really keeps the doctor away.
Researchers from the University of Western Australia found that eating an apple a day slashes the risk of dying early by 35 per cent.
The researchers also found that women who ate more than 100 grams of the fruit each day – one small apple – were likely to have a longer life expectancy than those who didn’t, reports Mail Online.
The researchers studied 1,456 persons aged 70 to 85 for 15 years.
According to the researchers, apples have high levels of flavonoids and fibre which are linked to artery relaxation, lower cholesterol and blood pressure and a reduced cancer risk.
Apples are also a good source of magnesium, potassium and vitamin C.
So make sure you eat an apple today.
