An apple a day…is full of good bacteria?
Red, yellow or green…apples are ubiquitous to the home, proudly crowning all fruit bowls. Simple to preserve and easy to eat, they are also full of beneficial virtues for the health. Rich in fibres and antioxidants, apples do wonders for the digestion, and also help fight against the spread of cancer cells.
That’s not all, either: apples reduce bad cholesterol as well as the risk of diabetes and stroke, and are a great healthy snack to tide you over till lunch. Now, yet another benefit has been found: the flesh, pips and skin of apples contain millions of beneficial bacteria for our microbiota.
Today, we all know about how essential a role our microbiota plays in regulating immune, digestive, metabolic and neurological functions. A healthy, diverse microbiota also reduces the risk of infection and inflammation. So have we convinced you? An apple a day truly is good for your health – preferably from the organic aisle, eaten with the skin on!
