“…The content of substances from various groups that have a pleiotropic effect on the body also causes disease prevention. In accordance with the study performed so far, apples can: reduce cardiovascular risk [3], lower glycemia [4], are hepatoprotective [5], anticancer [6], and support peristalsis [7]. Apples are low in calories and high in fiber, making them an ideal food for weight management.…”

Introduction and purpose: Apples are a widely consumed fruit globally and are known to be a great source of nutrition. Studies have shown that apples contain high levels of antioxidants, dietary fiber, and vitamins that contribute to numerous health benefits. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive review of the impact of apples on human health. State of knowledge: The paper reviews the current literature on the health benefits of apples, focusing on their impact on various health conditions such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and obesity. Additionally, it examines the role of apples in improving intestinal, immune, and cognitive function. The paper also discusses the potential mechanisms by which apples exert their health benefits, such as high levels of flavonoids, polyphenols, and dietary fiber. Summary: In conclusion, the vast body of evidence reviewed in this paper supports the notion that consuming apples regularly can contribute to better health outcomes. They may help reduce the risk of chronic diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes, as well as promote healthy gut microbiota and immune function. Despite the controversy surrounding the use of pesticides in apple cultivation, the benefits of consuming apples outweigh the risks. Therefore, it is highly recommended to include apples as part of a balanced and nutritious diet to promote optimal health and wellbeing. As the saying goes, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away".

“…It could be the result of the fact that for supplementation purposes usually pure compounds are used, while in the habitual consumption assessment, they are a part of a mixture of multiple antioxidative agents. Such conclusions have already been raised when referring to apples [42]. Dwarf kiwi has not been widely tested in humans, however, in vitro and animal model studies results are promising [34][35][36][37][38].…”

(1) Background: Overweight and obesity are emerging global problems causing multiple health complications. Excessive fat tissue content leads to chronic inflammation, which is why antioxidative compounds that could potentially reduce these processes are possible agents that could be supplemented in order to prevent metabolic complications of overweight and obesity. Apples and dwarf kiwis are good sources of antioxidative agents such as quercetin and chlorogenic acid. The aim of this study was to assess if apple and dwarf kiwi nutraceutical supplementation can improve the metabolic parameters of overweight adults. (2) Methods: 43 participants were enrolled in the double-blinded pilot study: 21 in the supplementation group and 22 in the placebo group. The one 1000 mg nutraceutical capsule contained 10% Chopin apple peel extract, 10% whole dwarf kiwi fruit extract, 75% Chopin apple core extract, and 5% rapeseed peptides. The supplementation group received two capsules/day for 60 days. (3) Results: The supplementation of the apple and kiwi product resulted in a lowering of ALT in the supplementation group (from 29.65 ± 19.02 UI/L to 23.80 ± 13.76 UI/L; p = 0.01). Subgroup analysis in men and women showed a significant decrease in total cholesterol level (from 220.15 ± 36.69 mg/dL to 208.43 ± 37.09 mg/dL; p = 0.04), non-HDL cholesterol (from 161.17 ± 41.00 mg/dL to 145.69 ± 41.75 mg/dL; p = 0.02) and ALT (from 25.41 ± 12.05 UI/L to 19.07 ± 6.13 UI/L; p = 0.01) in women and triglycerides levels (from 212.74 ± 127.15 mg/dL to 155.63 ± 80.61 mg/dL; p = 0.047) in men. (4) Conclusions: The supplementation of nutraceuticals from apples and dwarf kiwi led to improvements in lipid profile. It can be a possible new agent for counteracting overweight metabolic complications, however, larger group studies and more detailed tests are needed to support these preliminary findings.

“…It is thus highly recommended to follow the proverb "An apple a day keeps the doctor away!" in order to be healthy and t. The highest level of these compounds are being found in peels [4], indicating that apple peels may be biologically more functional than apple esh in terms of promoting sound health. By and by, eating an apple with the skin on is strongly recommended.…”

The aim of the current investigation was to reveal whether the peel phenolics of three red-colored ("Royal Delicious", "Delicious", "Maharaji") and one yellow-colored ("Golden Delicious") malus variety might have a differential tendency with regard to inflammation and arthritis, as these varieties indigenous to Kashmir have not yet been exploited for the same. The comparative assessment of the immunomodulatory properties of decoctures, prepared by amalgamating the extracts of different polar menstruums, was analyzed by subjecting them to in vitro assays of inflammation and arthritis. In the decoctures, the presence of carboxylic acids, poly-hydroxy compounds, aromatic rings, alcohols, alkenes, ethers, nitro compounds, phenols, hydrogen-bonded alcohols, and esters was demonstrated by FTIR. All the FTIR spectra correlate to the functionality of phenolic and polyphenolic compounds deemed to be present in malus varieties. All the peel decoctions showed significant inflammation suppressive and anti-arthritic efficacy, in a dose-dependent fashion. With the goal to treat oxidative stress-related, inflammatory, and arthritic illnesses, the present research assigns the greatest pharmacological precedence to the bioactive compounds extracted on a polarity premise from peels of Malus domestica var Maharaji.
