While it will certainly take more than a daily apple to keep you healthy, it is a step in the right direction. Apples are delicious, easy to carry for snacking, low in calories, a natural mouth freshener, and they are still very inexpensive. 

Apples are a source of both soluble and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber such as pectin actually helps to prevent cholesterol buildup in the lining of blood vessel walls, thus reducing the incident of atherosclerosis and heart disease. The insoluble fiber in apples provides bulk in the intestinal tract, holding water to cleanse and move food quickly through the digestive system.

It is a good idea to eat apples with their skin. Almost half of the vitamin C content is just underneath the skin. Eating the skin also increases insoluble fiber content. Most of an apple's fragrance cells are also concentrated in the skin and as they ripen, the skin cells develop more aroma and flavor. 

Ittends to relieve diarrhea. Apple skin is a good source of calcium and vitamin A. The vitamin content is 5 times more in the skin than the flesh and gradually decreases towards the center of the fruit.

There are hundreds of varieties of apples on the market today, although most people have only tasted one or two of the most popular such as Red Delicious or Granny Smith. Apples can be sweet, tart, soft and smooth or crisp and crunchy, depending on the one you choose. There is an apple to suit almost everyone's taste, so why not choose one. Have an apple today!

Here are extra suggestions on how to eat raw apples

RAW
Feel like snacking on an apple? With so many delicious varieties available, you can bite into a fresh, crisp apple and have a joyfully different taste adventure every day of the week.

Pack an apple in your lunch bag

Include a colorful variety of apples on your picnic menu. They have great keeping qualities and will do fine without refrigeration for the day.

Add chopped apples to your tossed salad. It adds little bursts of sweetness and makes salad special.

Slice apples and enjoy them with a nut butter spread.

Add crunch to a fruit salad with diced apples.

Make a vegan Waldorf Salad with diced apples, diced celery, raisins, and vegan mayonnaise.

Apples and a savory creamy vegan dip make great partners at a party.

If you are fortunate enough to have a juicer in your kitchen, you can enjoy fresh apple juice throughout the year.

Start your day with an unbaked apple. In a bowl, combine raisins, nuts, chopped dried pineapple, chopped dates, and sprouted buckwheat. Core the apple, fill the cavity with some of the fruit-nut mixture, and surround the apple with the remainder. Enjoy this breakfast dish with a knife and fork.

Apple seeds are considered edible, but caution must prevail. Because they contain a small amount of cyanide, apple seeds can only be tolerated in small amounts
