    Apple is the most nutritious fruit in the world, it contains almost most of the nutrients
    the body needs.

    Apples are the closest to perfect nutritional value of all fruits.

    In a list of "World's Healthiest Fruits" by the World Health Organization, apples are
    ranked first and are truly the "King of Fruits".


    Apples contain carbohydrates, protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin B1, vitamin B2,
    dietary fiber, malic acid, tartaric acid, carotene, flavonoids and other nutrients.

    In addition, apples are also rich in minerals such as potassium, phosphorus, calcium,
    magnesium, zinc, manganese, iron, aluminum and more.

    A medium-sized apple weighs about 180 grams and contains 95 calories and 19 grams
    of sugar.

    Apples are low-calorie, low-sugar fruits, and eating an apple a day will not gain weight.

    The dietary fiber content of apples is about 1.85%. Dietary fiber is the seventh largest
    nutrient for human beings, and it is very beneficial to the health of the digestive system
    and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular.

    As one of the main polyphenols in apples, flavonoids have anti-inflammatory, bactericidal, anti-viral, anti-oxidative, anti-aging, anti-tumor and other effects.

    The acid in apples is mainly malic acid, which has the functions of eliminating fatigue,
    increasing appetite, promoting digestion, softening blood vessels, and lowering
    cholesterol.

    An apple a day may not keep the doctor away, but eating an apple a day can be extremely beneficial to your health.
