In a study, scientists have found that eating four apples a week can reduce the risk of death from cardiovascular disease by about 40%.
Bananas are also very useful in this case and reduce premature death by 30%. And if both fruits are eaten three or four times a week, the risk of premature death is reduced by 50%.
In a study published in the journal Frontiers in Nutrition, Chinese researchers examined 2184 middle-aged men and women with high cholesterol levels.
In a study conducted over 10 years, it was found that people who ate three to four apples a week were 39% less likely to die from any cause than those who did not eat apples.
On the other hand, banana consumption had similar effects.
