Enjoying
a glass of fresh apple cider or apple juice is like getting
all the benefits of eating a whole apple, in a glass.
Every day you brush your teeth to remove plaque buildup. Just
like plaque on your teeth, LDL or “bad cholesterol”
builds up in your arteries. And now, apple cider, apple juice,
apples, and applesauce have been shown to help brush away some
of that cholesterol.
A new University of California-Davis Medical Center study shows
that daily consumption of 12 ounces of apple cider or apple
juice can reduce the risk of heart disease. And the benefits
don’t stop there. A recent Cornell University study found
that the antioxidants in apples also inhibit the growth of certain
types of cancer cells.
Dr.
Olga Padilla-Zakour from Cornell says that fresh apple cider
is not highly filtered like typical apple juice. Cider retains
much of the natural beneficial elements of a whole fresh apple.
These natural elements come from antioxidants called flavonoids,
which may have anti-cancer properties.
