Many people have discovered how juicing and drinking juice is a fantastic way to get your daily quotas of fruit and vegetables and can be incorporated successfully into any health or fitness regime. One fruit that is especially popular is apple juice. This is because there are so many different varieties, many tasty blends can be made. There are, however, some relatively unknown benefits.

In the digestive tract apple juice has many cleansing properties and therefore makes it a very popular juice to drink. It also helps with the functioning of the kidneys and is known to be useful as a general tonic for the skin and liver as well as helping in the purification of the bloodstream.

Apples contain large quantities of many vitamins including carotene, vitamin B6, riboflavin, thiamine and riboflavin but not as much vitamin C as was once thought. They also contain around 16 calories per ounce of fruit, which is useful if you are on a calorie controlled plan.

The levels of vitamin C can vary quite a bit from apple to apple, and range from about 2mg to 35mg per hundred ounces. The types of apples that contain the highest levels of this vitamin are, Golden Noble, Ontario and Bramleys.

Fruits like oranges and lemons are the most vitamin C rich fruits commonly available. However, apples contain more minerals and antioxidants, like tannic acid.

When apple juice is made fresh it has the tendency to discolor and turn brown quickly due to the process of oxidization. One way to diminish this effect and add extra taste to the juice is to add a little juice from a freshly squeezed lemon.

Another chemical that is found in apples are the group known as polyphenols. Research has suggested that these chemicals may help reduce the incidence of Alzheimers disease and other dementia related illnesses. Also, apples contain chemicals similar to those found in tea and red wine which are responsible for breaking down the bad cholesterol in the bloodstream which is largely responsible for heart disease.

Not only do apples make a good snack and healthy addition to the diet, drinking them as a juice can increase your intake of apples providing a boost to your health.
