The cliché fruit of fruits is about as healthy as foods come. It’s been long associated with the ability to keep the doctor away by keeping your body in prime condition. Of course that’s a bit of an exaggeration, and true good health requires more than simple adding apples to your diet.

New research is suggesting that apples do a lot more than just reduce the number of visits to our doctor you need to make, but that they can also increase the amount of time you spend in the realm of the living. A chemical in the peel of apples has shown to reduce the devastating effects of muscle wasting, as Daily Mail notes:

A chemical found in the peel of apples can turn elderly people’s muscles into those of a young adult after just two months of treatment, claim scientists from the University of Iowa.

They said both apple peel and green tomatoes have natural chemical properties which could turn back time for tired older muscles.

Now the researchers hope the discovery could lead to new therapies targeting pensioners and other older adults enabling them to keep fit and active for longer.

This is quite a finding, and one sure to make the apple even more popular, but like anything, more research must be done to corroborate and backup these results. Check out Daily Mail for more information on the study.
