If you’re not eating three apples a day, you’re not dieting right. That’s according to fans of the 3-apples-a-day plan. They say apples fill you up so you eat less. That part is obvious. What you might not know is apple fiber decreases the transit time of food in your digestive system. Apples help to keep you hydrated. And, the enzymes naturally found in apples may help your body to more efficiently digest foods that you eat. Plus, apples are easy to carry with you and available year round. Finally, the sugar in apples satisfies your sweet cravings, so you’ll likely eat better, but that same sugar does not spike your blood glucose level up and down like other sweet snack foods.
