Well few days ago one of my fellow blogger, Jolly suggested to start a event based upon alphabet. The idea is basically to prepare a dish whose main ingredient starts with the chosen alphabet. So finally the event ‘A to Z Recipe Challenge‘ is started and this is the first month with the first alphabet A. From childhood, we all have grown with the saying that A for Apple, B for Ball 😉 Jokes apart, for me also always A means A for Apple. So I chose the main ingredient as APPLE.
There is an old saying you all might know as ‘an apple a day keeps the doctor away. Actually this is absolutely true 😊 This fruit has a striking color and a rosy aroma as it belongs to the rose family of plants, Rosaceae. Since apples are stuffed with numerous vitamins and minerals, it contributes to a healthy and well-protected system. Apples contain plenty of antioxidants like flavonoids, polyphenols, and vitamin C that help protect the body against harmful bacteria and viruses. While berries usually get most of the credit when it comes to supplying antioxidants, apples are a close runner-up 😊 There are a huge health benefits one can get from this fruit like
- great source of cancer fighting antioxidants
- good for diabetics and blood sugar regulation
- high in fiber
- a good source of vitamin C
- can help in weight loss
- a great immunity booster
- neutralize irritable bowel syndrome
- helps in preventing Cataract
- aid blood circulation
- act as a great anti-aging mask etc.
