Apple

The apple is the most popular fruit.
It is synonymous with health and beauty.

It has many properties although it is not very rich in vitamins like other fruit. Its peel is rich in antioxidants of different types.

It does not contain protein and contains very little fat, for 85% of the apple is composed of water.

Apple is suitable for diabetics because it is a fruit that contains fructose that is a sugar that is metabolized without the use of insulin.
 
Contains pectin, a special fiber which controls the cholesterol levels. Apple helps fight bad cholesterol and help the good one.

As I said  before it is not a fruit with plenty of vitamins, in order of importance, the fruit in question you can find Vitamin C, Vitamin A, B1, and B2. 
The Vitamin C, in the apple, seems to be beneficial to the respiratory system and helps to defend against external attacks. 
Vitamin A present in the gut creates an enzyme that fights bacteria infected and this means that the apple is a disinfectant for the intestines. 
Vitamin B1 fights fatigue,loss of appetite and nervousness, while the B2 protects the mucous membranes of the mouth, hair and nails.

The apple is rich in minerals, especially potassium and  contains a trace of copper, a element that contributes to the constitution of the blood.
We anticipated that the apple is a powerful antioxidant. It is rich in bioflavonoids such as quercetin which helps to prevent cardiovascular disease and cancer.

In the peel there is a flavonoid naringin, which reduces the chance of getting lung cancer, prevents osteoporosis and Alzheimer's.
