Promote gut health

Within the gut (AKA the gastrointestinal tract) live trillions of bacteria, good and bad, which all together make up the microbiome. Pectin, a type of fiber that works as a prebiotic, is found in apples. This indicates it feeds your gut microbiota, which is made up of good bacteria.

Your gut microbiota plays an important role in your overall health and well-being since it is involved in numerous activities related to health and disease. A healthy gut is necessary for good health. Because dietary fiber cannot be digested, pectin reaches your colon intact, allowing healthy bacteria to thrive. It improves the Bacteriodetes to Firmicutes ratio, which is one of the most important bacteria ratios in the gut. According to a new study, apples may help protect against chronic diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and cancer by altering your gut microbiota in a good way.
