Apples are called the healthiest fruit among the most accessible. There is even a recommendation to eat one apple every day.

But what happens if you eat more? Can a fruit that is good for your body really cause harm?

The answer to this question is given by the RIA Novosti publication, citing Marem Evloeva, a general practitioner at the Mozhaisk hospital clinic.

Benefits of apples

It is impossible to dispute the benefits of apples. Fresh apples are rich in vitamin C and more.

It is important to remember that most of the nutrients are contained in the apple peel.

The seeds contain iodine, as well as the glycoside amygdalin – vitamin B17, which is considered anti-cancer.

Daily norm

It is recommended to eat at least two apples a day. But do not forget that even the healthiest products should be consumed in moderation, especially now that the seasonal fruits are ripe, the expert said.

If you ignore this recommendation, you may experience problems with your stomach, intestines and gallbladder.

It is also important to rinse your mouth after eating apples. This will help avoid dental problems that can arise from fruit acids.

It is also important to remember that apples are healthy not only when fresh, but also when baked.
