An apple juice a day could keep a trip to the heart doctor away, says research. A team of researchers in US have found that drinking apple juice appears to slow down a process that can lead to heart disease.
According to BBC, the researchers at UC Davis School of Medicine said a very moderate intake of apple juice has the potential to reduce risk factors for heart disease in a fairly short period of time.
Lead researcher Dianne Hyson, a dietician, said, "Previous studies have shown that eating fruits and vegetables is associated with a reduced risk of coronary artery disease."
"But this is the first clinical study to show the potential benefits of active compounds in apple juice and apples."
Although the researchers expected to see positive results from drinking apple juice, they were surprised to find beneficial effects after only six weeks.
