Four Reasons to Feed your Dog Apples

Apples are extremely rich in important antioxidants, flavanoids, and dietary fibre. The phytonutrients and antioxidants in apples may help reduce the risk of developing cancer, hypertension, diabetes, and heart disease. They also contain the following important nutrients:

1. Vitamin C – a powerful natural antioxidant capable of blocking some of the damage caused by free radicals, as well as boosting the body’s resistance against infectious agents
2. B-complex vitamins (riboflavin, thiamin, and vitamin B-6) – these vitamins are key in maintaining red blood cells and the nervous system in good health.
3. Dietary fibre – which can help prevent the development of certain diseases and may help prevent the amount of bad cholesterol in your blood from rising.
4. Minerals such as calcium, potassium, and phosphorus.
