NUTRITION INFORMATION
HEALTH BENEFITS
Apples are a major source of fiber, which can aid digestion. The apple skin contains insoluble fiber, which helps with constipation and regularity, while the flesh has soluble fiber, which slows down the digestion of glucose, helping to regulate blood glucose levels.
Cinnamon has prebiotic properties, which can help support the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut while reducing the growth of bad bacteria. It can also be used to help alleviate gastrointestinal issues, including gas and bloating.
