Here are more reasons to take apple in our daily diet:
Office fruit apples have multiple health benefits, from boosting vision due to their vitamin A content, to helping slow ageing-related problems.
The office fruit basket treat is also rich in pectin, which acts as an antioxidant that helps reduce cholesterol levels in the bloodstream.
This could be particularly important as a new study has further highlighted that cutting cholesterol can dramatically reduce the risk of having a heart attack.
Cholesterol is a major contributory factor for heart disease therefore reducing levels can make you less likely to suffer a heart attack or stroke.
The new research, funded by the British Heart Foundation and the Lancet, looked at the effects of increasing the dosage of statins, which reduce cholesterol, on a person.
Researchers found that a bigger drop in cholesterol – from more intensive treatment with statins – cut risks even more.
Professor Jeremy Pearson, associate medical director at the foundation, said the new research may help GPs as it could give them "another tool for helping people keep their hearts healthy".
