Apples are loaded with vitamins and antioxidants and just one apple provides up to 5 grams of fiber, great for a healthy diet. Apples are not only great for weight loss, they are great in preventing many diseases such as Alzheimers Asthma, and aid in preventing numerous cancers such as colon, liver, lung and breast. The pectin in apples supplies galacturonic acid to the body which lowers the body’s need for insulin and may help in the management of diabetes. This recipe is a great way to get in your daily apple and is a great salad to take to work, picnic, traveling, etc. Adding walnuts provides a nice crunch and a good source of Omega-3s.
