Hearty and healthy!
The frisch-saftig-steirisch apple is the definition of a healthy, active life-style. It grows in the energy-rich volcanic soil of the Eastern Styrian hills. The full flavour and distinctive taste of the Styrian apple develop in combination with the region’s unique climate which is a mixture of Alpine, Mediterranean and Pannonian influences.
The frisch-saftig-steirisch apple is not just a treat to eat: when it comes to nutritional content, it has the lot!
Number 1 for vitamins
The secret of the Styrian apple is its unique mix of essential nutrients. Vitamins C, E, B1 and B6 are especially important. It also contains trace elements and minerals, like selenium, iron, copper and potassium, which have a positive effect on our health. Just 2 large apples meet up to 50% of our daily vitamin C requirements, support our nervous, cardiovascular and circulatory systems, improve our concentration and make sure our cells are continuously renewed, helping us to grow and age healthily.
Did you know that 70% of these valuable nutrients are in or just under the peel? So our tip is to eat your apples unpeeled, fresh and uncooked as much as possible!
Stress adieu!
The frisch-saftig-steirisch apple is an excellent anti-stress food.
Apples contain many anti-stress micronutrients, which can help the body fight stress-related warning signals, such as metabolic and circulatory disorders, reduced immunity, poor general health, respiratory problems, headaches, tumours or cancer, and premature ageing, amongst others. Furthermore, they target free radicals, which our bodies produce more of when we are stressed. In addition, they reduce the stress-related inflammatory activity and protect the blood vessels. They have antispasmodic and muscular relaxing properties and have considerable influence on the immune system.
By eating apples on a regular basis you are taking active measures against stress-related illness and thus benefitting your health.
Our tip is to eat at least 2 apples a day!
Down with cholesterol!
Just two to three apples a day in combination with a balanced diet can significantly lower cholesterol in just six weeks. It is important to differentiate between bad (LDL) and good (HDL) cholesterol: one is harmful to us, and we need the other. Luckily the Styrian apple has a special function here, as it reduces only the bad cholesterol and can even raise levels of the good cholesterol. On top of all that, it not only reduces cholesterol levels but also works against cholesterol absorption.
The result of this is a reduced risk of cardiovascular problems and arteriosclerosis.
Beauty for all!
The secret behind the beautifying effect of the Styrian apple lies in its nutritional content and its effect on our bodies. The frisch-saftig-steirisch apple contains a whole pile of magic ingredients which look after our well-being, inside and out. Those nutrients that protect our cells and encourage cell renewal keep us young, dynamic and full of energy. Other contents protect our skin and provide it with moisture, freshness and the necessary elasticity. Apples also stimulate a lively circulation of body fluids and an effective disposal of waste products from our bodies. In short: apples keep us young and full of vitality, not only on the inside but also on the outside.
Maybe the most important health tip we can give you is to eat at least 2 apples a day – with the peel! They will do you good and could even substantially improve your health.
