Two Apples A Day Could Cut The Risk Of Heart Disease

 Just two apples a day could help protect women against heart disease by cutting their cholesterol levels, according to new research.

Scientists found apples significantly lowered blood fat levels in postmenopausal women, the group most at risk of heart attacks and strokes.
Snacking on the fruit every day for six months slashed cholesterol by almost a quarter.
The biggest reduction was seen in low-density lipoprotein, the so-called ‘bad’ cholesterol that furs up arteries and raises the risk of a life-threatening clot forming near the heart or brain.

The findings, by a team of researchers at Florida State University in the U.S, support previous evidence that apples could be good for the heart.
