Conditions Treated Using Apple:
Name: Apple
Other Names: Red Apple, Green Apple, Yellow Apple
Description:
The Apple is a tree and its pomaceous fruit, of the species Malus domestica in the rose family Rosaceae. Apple is one of the most widely cultivated tree fruits. The tree is small and deciduous, reaching 5-12 m tall, with a broad, often densely twiggy crown.
A group of chemicals in apples could protect the brain from the type of damage that triggers such neurodegenerative diseases as Alzheimer's and Parkinsonism. Chang Y. 'Cy' Lee of the Cornell University found that the Apple phenolics, which are naturally occurring antioxidants found in fresh Apple, can protect nerve cells from neurotoxicity induced by oxidative stress. The researchers used red delicious apples from New York State to provide the extracts to study the effects of phytochemicals. All apples are high in the critical phytonutrients and that the amount of phenolic compounds in the Apple flesh and in the skin vary from year to year, season to season and from growing region to growing region. The predominant phenolic phytochemicals in apples are quercetin, epicatechin, and procyanidin B2.
An old proverb attests to the health benefits of the fruit: "An Apple a day keeps the doctor away." Research suggests that apples may reduce the risk of colon cancer, prostate cancer and lung cancer. Like many fruits, apples contain Vitamin C as well as a host of other antioxidant compounds, which may reduce the risk of cancer by preventing DNA damage. The fibre content, while less than in most other fruits, helps regulate bowel movements and may thus reduce the risk of colon cancer. They may also help with heart disease, weight loss and controlling cholesterol, as they do not have any cholesterol, have fibre (which reduces cholesterol by preventing reabsorption), and are bulky for their caloric content like most fruits and vegetables.
