5. Weight Loss
Apples can contribute to a healthy weight loss regime. With their high water content, less apples are needed to feel sated than other foods of similar caloric content. Apples also have high levels of fiber, which slows the rate of digestion making them more filling.
A clinical study found that participants who ate three apples a day consumed less calories and lost more weight over a period of 10 weeks than those who ate oat cookies instead.7‘A Low-energy-dense Diet Adding Fruit Reduces Weight and Energy Intake in Women. de Oliveira MC;Sichieri R;Venturim Mozzer R; pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18439712/
