Published on July 21, 2019, research has consistently shown that apples are one of the healthiest foods available. With their rich content of dietary fibre, antioxidants, and flavonoids, apples are an excellent choice for maintaining a healthy heart.

Apples have also been linked to a lower risk of diabetes, and their probiotic effects promote the growth of good gut bacteria. Additionally, they contain compounds that help fight asthma and prevent cancer.

A medium-sized apple contains just 95 calories, making it a filling and nutritious snack. With over 100 varieties of apples available worldwide, including eight grown in Kenya, there's no excuse not to incorporate more apples into your diet.

Try pairing apple slices with peanut butter for a tasty and healthy snack, or bake some homemade apple crisps for a delicious and nutritious treat.
