The apple has always been a benchmark among fruits and is undoubtedly the best known and most iconic. It could be called the queen of fruits, and there is even a saying that honors it: “An apple a day keeps the doctor away,” due to its incredible health benefits, which have been known for hundreds of years.
It contains antioxidants, prevents cardiovascular disease, helps control blood sugar, is effective in preventing tooth decay, strengthens the immune system, and is a great ally against intestinal inflammation.
However, a new study from Harvard University has discovered that flavonol, present in all types of apples, is a compound that could help reduce what is known as “frailty in the elderly,” a condition present in 50% of people between the ages of 70 and 75, which causes a decline in functionality, mobility, balance, and muscle weakness.
This valuable compound could help prevent this condition and improve overall health.
According to the Harvard study, one medium-sized apple a day would be enough to reduce the chances of developing geriatric frailty.
Something as simple and everyday as eating an apple is an excellent way to take care of our health, both now and in the future.
