Promoting heart health
Heart disease remains a top concern in the U.S., but small dietary choices make a difference. Apples’ fiber helps lower LDL cholesterol, while lemons’ flavonoids may improve blood vessel function and reduce blood pressure. Together, they’re a heart-smart addition to your plate.
Heart-healthy tips:
Toss apple slices with spinach, olive oil, and lemon juice.
Blend apple, kale, and lemon into a nutrient-rich smoothie.
Bake apples with cinnamon and a touch of lemon zest for a light treat.
Enhancing Skin Vitality
Your skin reflects what you eat. Vitamin C from lemons boosts collagen production, keeping skin firm and youthful, while apples’ antioxidants protect against oxidative stress. Their natural hydration also helps skin stay plump and radiant.
Skin-friendly ways to enjoy them:
Drink lemon water alongside an apple mid-morning.
Make a smoothie with apple, lemon, and aloe vera.
Try a DIY mask with apple puree and lemon juice (always patch test first).
