No sodium and cholesterol. Apple is an important source of potassium and boron. Potassium can balance the pH value; while boron is to help calcium absorption.

A one serving size portion of apple contains 10 per cent vitamin C and 3 grams of dietary fiber. Apples also contain a unique slow burning carbohydrate that helps maintain energy levels. Phloridzin is a flavinoid found in apples that is linked to bone protection. Apples may help against alzheimers.
