Among the properties and benefits that apple consumption provides, we would highlight that it is practically a fruit tolerated by everyone, being an excellent antioxidant for our body as well as astringent or laxative depending on how we consume it.
Antioxidants can be found in its skin, which contains the highest amount of polyphenols such as quercetin and flavonoids. This is why it is important to eat the fruit with its skin, as antioxidants neutralize free radicals, avoiding an increase in cholesterol and therefore cardiovascular problems or diseases like cancer. In addition to antioxidants, it also provides us with a good dose of fiber, which will regulate our digestive system, being astringent if we eat it with the skin and laxative if we discard it.
It is also rich in pectin, which helps retain water, as well as tannins, due to their astringent and anti-inflammatory properties in our intestines.
