Although highly promoted in folklore, the apple today has become so cultivated that it has little of its mythical nutritional value. However, it does act as a digestive aid and helps combat intestinal discomforts such as diarrhea. Eating a raw apple can also help clean teeth. Apples are best eaten raw, but for soft diets they should be cooked or puréed, because of the high roughage content. Apple juice is most nutritious when made from uncooked apples. It acts as a digestive aid and in some cases has proved beneficial to arthritis sufferers. As a good source of potassium, it aids muscles, nerves, and heart, and helps to maintain a potassium-sodium balance. As a source of natural sugars, it is good against low blood sugar and acidosis.
