Apples have great benefits for brain health. First of all, people with cardiovascular disease are more likely to suffer from cognitive impairment than the general population. Apples have antioxidant and free radical scavenging properties, which reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Secondly, apples are high in dietary fiber and water, which helps to increase satiety and reduce the desire to eat fatty foods, thus reducing the absorption and accumulation of blood lipids and keeping blood vessels in the brain healthy. Finally, apples or apple juice can reduce the damage of reactive oxygen species to brain tissues and slow down the rate of cognitive deterioration.
