There are so many apples to choose from, how about the green ones, the red ones, the honey crisp, Fuji, those are just a few. And no matter what, sweet or tart, just about everyone has their favorite.

Apples actually come from the Rose family of plants, in general they are red or green in color, sometimes pink or even a combination of colors. They are round of course, and are mostly eaten raw or sometimes made in to a pie.

Apples are also packed with health benefits, such as anti-cancer benefits. Apples are rich in flavonoids, especially the skins, which can help reduce the risks of breast cancer, liver cancer, colon cancer and others.

Also the vitamins and minerals found in this awesome fruit help to lower cholesterol and reduce your risks of diabetes. The fiber found in this fruit does an incredible job of keeping blood sugars level, it also binds together with fats and helps to remove them from your system, which in turn helps to stop plaque build up.

It doesn't stop there either, they also help in protection against Parkinsons and Alzheimers, they also boost your immune system, they stop irritable bowel syndrome, prevent cataracts, help you to control your weight and give you a better overall smile. All of these benefits in one little fruit.

You can add these delicious fruits as part of your daily diet very easily due to the fact that they don't need any type of preparation. You don't need a spoon or a fork, just pick it up, wash it off and your ready to go. And if you want to change things up a little, you can add them to a fruit salad, or how about a side dish or better yet, you can make a great tasting all natural smoothie.

They are one of the best fruits that you can add to your daily diet and one of the most tastiest and to top it all off, their all natural.
