1. Improves digestion
We tend to drink less fluid when the weather is cold. And this can be harmful to our digestion. Water deficiency stiffens our intestines, making it difficult for food to move through.
Apples are high in pectin, an important fiber that aids digestion.As soluble fiber, it slows digestion and pushes stool through by absorbing water from the intestines and forming a gel.
It also contains malic acid, which is a wonderful digestive aid.
