Apples are a good source of fiber which are beneficial in lowering the risks of colon cancer. Apples, being rich in flavonoids, help in reducing the mortality rate for coronary and cardiovascular diseases. There have also been studies that show that eating apples can improve lung health. A number of components in apples, most notably fiber and phytonutrients have been found in studies to lower blood cholesterol by 8 to 11% and improve bowel function, and may be associated with a reduced risk of prostate cancer, type II diabetes and asthma.
All these health benefits from eating an apple, lends support to the old adage "An apple a day helps keep the doctor away".

A fresh apple is the ideal, healthy snack – easy to carry, filling, juicy and refreshing. Some varieties are a good source of vitamin C, which is an antioxidant and helps to maintain the immune system.
Apples are also relatively low in calories and contain a high level of fructose. This simple sugar, which is sweeter than sucrose (main component of cane sugar) is metabolized slowly and so helps to control blood sugar levels.
