Eat ‘an apple a day’ if you want to keep your heart healthy. Catherine Bondonno, doctoral student in pharmacology at the University of Western Australia, had studied the impact of high-flavonoid apples on nitric oxide(NO) production and endothelial function, which are the factors linked with cardiovascular health. Bondonno says that that the flavonoid content in apples improved nitric oxide status and endothelial functions, which are the factors that lead to a healthy heart.
According to Australian researcher, eating the delectable fruit daily could offer a natural, low-cost remedy to the risk of cardiovascular disease(CVD).
“The endothelium is a single layer of cells lining blood vessels and produces nitric oxide. Nitric oxide signals surrounding muscles to relax, which causes the blood vessel to dilate increasing blood flow through the vessel, ” Bondonno said. The analysis revealed that the flavonoid content in apples improved nitric oxide status and endothelial functions, which are the factors that lead to a healthy heart.
