Benefits of Apples and Apple Cider

I have been thinking for several months about educating of the benefits of specific raw foods - since before school finished, but have been so busy that I haven't gotten around to it, and  am not sure how consistent this will be, as my husband and I are completely tearing our apartment up, cleaning it and rearranging some things - but here goes. I'll get to it as I can, because I feel that the Father in Heaven created these foods for our food and medicine and we should know what they are for. I am not going to go in any particular order,  as my health books are filled with many different things, but decided to start with apples - as they are generally popular.



Here are the benefits of eating apples:

• They reduce the risk of heart attacks.
• They protect you from lung cancer.
• They lower the risk of asthma.
• They improve overall lung function.
• They contain phenolics, which are powerful disease fighting components. They are antioxidants, which neutralize free radicals before your DNA is harmed.
• Vitamin C in apples provide the bulk of the apple's antioxident power.
• Apples have the second highest total antioxidant activity, as the cranberry is first.
• Apples inhibit liver cancer cells.
• People who eat apples have a lower risk for stroke.
• The apple's fiber maintains a healthy digestive system. They prevent both constipation and diarrhea.
• Apples keep you feeling full and are thus an excellent tool for weight loss.
• Apples possess penicillin-like properties and are excellent infection fighters.
• Eating apples fight tooth decay, and result in less cavities.
• Apples (and their juice) are also efficient in combating rashes, post nasal drip, flus, rosascea, sinus problems and stomach ache. 
• Apple cider vinegar (helps with leg cramps, eliminates gallstones - all by ingestion), (helps heal burns, relieves pain and itchiness of insect bites and stings, removes dandruff when used as a hair rinse after washing the hair, eliminates body odor when replacing deodorant and cures athlete's foot when feet are soaked daily - all topical use).
