Green Apple Benefit #4: Enhance Gut Health
Apples are actually believed to function as prebiotics. This is because they contain pectin, a particular type of fibre that helps the body build up and restore function to the bacteria in the gut.
Since fibre is insoluble, the intestine doesn’t absorb it during the digestive process. Fibres like pectin actually help by providing the proper environment for digestive bacteria to flourish in the digestive tract.
