Heart Disease

• Fuji apples have a high amount of flavinoids, in particular one called quercitin. This greatly reduces the risk of heart attack and heart disease, by as much as 20 percent according to a recent study in Finland.

Vitamin C

• Fuji apples are also rich in vitamin C. This antioxidant is responsible for building up the body's immune system, which will then better fend off various illnesses.

Cholesterol

• One unpeeled fuji apple contains about 3 grams of fiber, over 10 percent of a person's daily need. This helps to greatly reduce cholesterol levels, which protects the heart and arteries.

Flavinoids

• The flavinoids in fuji apples act as a powerful antioxidant that protects against free radical damage. They are also able to protect cells against TNF, a cancerous compound that triggers cell death.

Frucotse

• Apples get their sweet taste from a natural sugar known as fructose. Along with the fiber in a fuji apple, the fructose breaks down slowly, which helps to maintain a low blood sugar level.

Sun Protection

• The skin of a fuji apple contains healthy phenols, a special type of antioxidant. They are known to help protect the skin from UV-B rays that could damage it.
