If you want to lose weight, eat apples. This fruit is a delicious dietary fiber and helps aid digestion and promote weight loss.

If you want to prevent heart problems or stroke, apples will also help.  In fact, two apples a day can reduce your bad cholesterol by up to 10 percent.

Although they have fewer vitamins than many other fruits, they are excellent detoxifiers and protects the body from viruses.

Tips:

1. Always peel your apples. This fruit is heavily contaminated. If possible, buy organic.
2. When buying, squeeze gently to ensure they are firm. Don't buy ones that can be easily dented.
3. Keep them in cool, dry and dark place and check occasionally because one bad apple will taint the others.
