Red Apples (1pc)

Apple

Apples contain fiber, vitamin C, antioxidants, and potassium. A medium sized apple provides the following:

• 13–20% of a person’s daily fiber needs
• 9–11% of a person’s daily vitamin C needs
• 4% of a person’s daily potassium needs

Fiber appears to help manage blood pressure, which may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Vitamin C is an antioxidant that, alongside other antioxidants, may play a role in protecting some aspects of heart health. Vitamin C may also boost the immune system and help defend the body from infections and diseases.

Potassium helps relax the blood vessels, reducing the risk of high blood pressure and cardiovascular complications.
