Apples are available year-round in grocery stores, and come in a wide range of varieties, including Mcintosh, Gala, Red Delicious, Golden Delicious and Granny Smith. Apples contain many vitamins and nutrients that are crucial to good health. Juicing apples provides many benefits that aren't available when eating the whole fruit. Use a juice extractor that separates the pulp from the juice, or you will only be making apple sauce. Remember to eat apples as well, for their high fiber content. Consult your physician before adding fresh apple juice to your diet.
Mass Amounts of Nutrients
Juicing apples is a way to get a massive amount of the fruit's nutrients into your body quickly. Since the fiber is removed, the fruit is basically "pre-digested," and easily absorbed, according to Juicing-for-Health.com. Also, it is possible to obtain the nutrition of many apples quickly, by making one large glass of juice.
Versatility
Fresh apple juice is an effective sweetener for vegetable juices that may not taste very good on their own. Adding an apple to a carrot-spinach drink can make it a lot more palatable, plus you get the nutrition from the apple.
Satisfies Sweet Tooth
Fresh apple juice is naturally sweet, and can satisfy your sweet tooth, while providing a high amount of nutrients at the same time. Juicing apples may help reduce your cravings for other sweets, such as cakes, candies and sodas.
Detoxifies
Apple juice is rich in flavanoids and polyphenols, which are both strong antioxidants and can help detoxify the body of harmful substances, according to the Health Guidance website.
Digestive Help
Apples contain a substance called malic acid, that helps maintain liver function and improves digestion, says Health Guidance. Juicing apples will help deliver malic acid through your body quickly.
Heart Health
Fresh apple juice is high in phytonutrients, that help your body delay the breakdown of low density lipoproteins, also known as LDL, or bad cholesterol, according to the Soy Quick website. When LDL begins to oxidize in your blood, plaque will form on artery walls, causing the arteries to narrow. Apple juice can help keep your arteries clear, and prevent heart disease.
