Are apples good for your skin?
“An apple a day keeps the doctor away!” – This well-known saying proves true when you consider the high levels of potassium, B vitamins, vitamins E and C, antioxidant botanicals and fiber in apples, which not only make your skin glow but are good for the whole body. The old aromatic apple varieties in particular are rich in polyphenols, which inhibit inflammatory reactions in the body and can alleviate your inflammatory acne. The contained pectins are antibacterial and accelerate the healing of pimples.
Apples are alkaline and well tolerated with lactose, gluten and histamine intolerance. However, if you have a fructose intolerance, certain apple varieties such as Granny Smith and Jonagold can be problematic due to their high level of fructose, which might lead to skin problems like redness, inflammation or acne.
