9. Bone Health
Studies suggest that eating fruits with high levels of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds has a positive effect on bone health. Apples contain phloridzin, a phytonutrient found in the fruit that helps improve bone density and could reduce the risk of osteoporosis occurring, especially in post-menopausal women.11‘Powerful Bone-building Antioxidants Found In Apples.’ Vivian Goldschmidt; saveourbones.com/powerful-bone-building-antioxidants-found-in-apples/
Apples also provide the body with boron. This trace mineral allows the body to efficiently and effectively produce bone-healthy nutrients, such as calcium, vitamin D, phosphorus and magnesium.
