Apples protect against arteriosclerosis
Daily consumption of apples protects crucial arteries from calcification. This is shown by an Australian study in which more than a thousand women over the age of seventy participated.
Study
Calcification of the abdominal aorta can reduce the supply of blood, and therefore oxygen, to the lower body.
The study participants had answered questions about their fruit intake. The researchers then tried to find an association between the women's fruit consumption and the condition of their abdominal aorta.
Results
However, the researchers discovered that apple consumption reduced the risk of aortic calcification. With every 50 grams of apple that the women consumed daily, their risk of severe abdominal aortic calcification decreased by 24 percent.
Fifty grams of apple is two thirds of a small apple. Without core.
