In apples are contained copious amounts of elements that help to manage the processes of inflammation and oxidation in the body.

When he removes the natural water content of apples, we get dehydrated or dried apples, which represent another mode, convenient and tasty to eat this fruit.

Researchers at Florida State University (Florida, USA) enrolled 160 women in post-menopausal women, and randomly assigned to each of them eating 2.7 ounces (75 g) of dried apples or prunes daily.
Blood tests were conducted several times a month month to measure the cardiovascular risk factors, including cholesterol levels. Three months after the beginning of the test, total cholesterol was reduced by 9%, while the 'LDL ("bad cholesterol") was reduced by 16% among subjects who consumed the dried apples.

After 6 and 12 months, total cholesterol was reduced by 13% and LDL cholesterol by 24% among those who ate dried apples.

The authors argue that "the consumption of 75 g of chopped apple (about two apples) can significantly reduce cholesterol levels after 3 months."
