What are the benefits o an ORGANIC apple a day? Is it true tht its that good for you?
Question:
Answers:
The flavonoid quercetin, a plant-based phytonutrient found most abundantly in apples, is the most health-promoting antioxidant.
It reduces the risk of many chronic diseases, including heart disease, cancer, stroke, type 2 diabetes and asthma.
ORGANIC apples, simply have a higher concentration of nutrients and vitamins than regular apples. Sometimes as high as 80% more. So you get more bang for your buck, nutrient-wise, by eating a single organic apple. You will need to eat more regular apples for the same benefits.
There are other reasons to choose organic apples, including their better taste/flavour, and the avoidance of pesticides which are harmful to both you and the environment.
Fruits and veggies all have unique benefits, so VARIETY is important to make sure you get everything you need to be and stay healthy. When organic produce is not readily available or affordable, eat regularly farmed fruits and veggies.
Other Answers:
There is a controversial debate about organic food.
Some people say it is better because it does not have pesticides, it has a great taste and has a high nutritional value.
One of the biggest benefits of apples is the fiber. However, they have discovered that bananas have more fiber and nutrients. So a banana a day is better for you than an apple a day. All ORGANIC fruits and vegetables are supposed to be pesticide free.
Organic apples have 26 times the nutrients. So go for it. Almost any organic foods are good for you.
Ya you know I think that is true, becasue I used to eat 1-2 apples a day and did not get sick for like 2 years. Then like last week I stopped eating one a day and now I have a really bad case of the flu.
