Regulates blood pressure
Apple juice is not only a delicious and refreshing drink, but it also offers some health benefits. One of these benefits is that it can help to regulate blood pressure.
Studies have shown that apple juice can help to lower blood pressure in both healthy people and those with high blood pressure. The polyphenols in apple juice are thought to be responsible for this effect.
Lowers cholesterol levels
A new study has found that apple juice may help to lower cholesterol levels. The study found that subjects who drank apple juice had lower levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol and higher levels of HDL (good) cholesterol.
The study’s lead author said that the results “support the idea” that apples and apple juice can help to improve cardiovascular health. She added that the findings need to be confirmed in a larger clinical trial before recommendations can be made about how much apple juice people should drink for heart health benefits.
The American Heart Association also recommends eating four or five servings of fruit per day, including apples. One cup of apple juice counts as one serving.
