Delicious and Nutritious

Keeping a supply of Red Delicious apples on hand for easy snacking is a

heart-healthy habit to have.

A recent study revealed that the phenolic compounds in Red Delicious apples

may have a beneficial effect on cholesterol levels. In the study, the

antioxidant activity of Red Delicious apples appeared to inhibit the

oxidation of bad cholesterol, making the blood fats less likely to stick to

artery walls and cause blockages.

RealAge Benefit: Eating a diverse diet that includes 4 servings of fruit per

day can make your RealAge as much as 4 years younger.
