Apple Health Research

Modern science is providing more and more proof of that adage about "an apple a day." What we know about apple health benefits is constantly expanding, as new apple health research is reported in the United States and around the world.

While the study of apples' health benefits is still in very early stages, research to date suggests that apples and apple nutrients may play a role in promoting human health in a number of ways, including:

  • promoting cardiovascular health by helping maintain healthy cholesterol levels;
  • maintaining a healthy weight along with exercise, as part of a low-fat, fiber-rich diet;
  • promoting lung health, by helping maintain healthy membranes;
  • promoting bone health, by contributing boron, a mineral important to bone health, to the diet.

Please consult your personal physician or nutrition consultant for specific diet and lifestyle advice to promote your better health and quality of life. And make apples and apple products a part of your daily plan for healthy eating!
