Therapeutic
benefits: Historically, apples were prescribed to remedy virtually every
illness going and today we still have the popular saying "an apple a day
keeps the doctor away".
Juicing
apples may help with arthritic and rheumatic conditions, as well as calming,
soothing and cleansing the digestive system.
It is particularly effective at treating constipation and diarrhoea and is known to tone up the liver.
Apples contain pectin, a substance that is said to soak up bad cholesterol, thus reducing levels in the blood.
Preparation for juicing: Wash apples thoroughly. If they are covered in a wax-like substance, make sure that this is removed by washing in warm water. It is best to juice the apple with the peel intact, as much of the vitamin C is contained in the skin. Do not, on the other hand, juice the pips, as they are said to contain cyanide. Cut into small pieces and place into the juicer.
