The phytonutrients in apples can help you regulate your blood sugar. Recent research has shown that apple polyphenols can help prevent spikes in blood sugar through a variety of mechanisms.

In addition, the polyphenols in apple have been shown to lessen absorption of glucose from the digestive tract; to stimulate the beta cells of the pancreas to secrete insulin; and to increase uptake of glucose from the blood via stimulation of insulin receptors. All of these mechanisms triggered by apple polyphenols can make it easier for you to regulate your blood sugar (Nutr, Jun 2003). Thirdly, the apple has the ability to make the body slim and fit.

The forth benefit, it plays a main role in keeping the psychological case in a good situation and provides people a positive emotions and feelings. An apple has the ability to remove the stress from people who are worried, controlling hormones that try to keep the electrical signals in the natural standard, and reduce the blood pressure. Storage has little to no effect on apple phytochemicals, but processing can greatly affect apple phytochemicals.
