Superfoods: apples

An easy snack to have on the run, apples may help you lose weight. An American study found that people who substituted all sugary sweets in their diet with apples lost an average of 15 pounds in 12 weeks.

The special fibre, pectin, protects the body against pollution and relieves indigestion, gout, rheumatism, arthritis and hangovers. Two apples a day can lower cholesterol by 10%. To help stop diarrhoea, eat grated apple.
