Hindi ko talaga ma gets ang kasabihan na “an apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Wala naman lasa apple eh.. eh it doesn’t look that nutritious naman but after attending Mott’s Nurturing Goodness For Your Family event, naniwala na ako.. at dahil hindi naman ako kumakain ng apple, lagi na ako iinom ng Mott’s 100% Apple Juice.

If I remember it right, hubby’s friend recommended the use of apple juice to eliminate gall stones and cleanse the colon. I can’t vouch to the  effectiveness of this ha (kidney stones passing with the help of cranberry juice ang nangyari sa akin) but it doesn’t hurt to try, specially that there are so many benefits of including apple (may it be fruit or 100% juice) on your diet.

Here are the benefits of drinking 100% Apple Juice discussed during the event:

1. Just one serving of apple juice already gives your body a nice boost of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Apple juice also got Vitamin C and polyphenol antioxidants.
2. Drinking apple juice a day helps lower the risk of heart disease.
3. A study has shown that apple consumption has been associated with decreased risk of asthma.
4. Apple juice not only has antioxidant activity, it also has antimutagenic characteristics, anti- inflammatory mechanisms, and immunity features that help reduce the risk of cancer
5. Drinking apple juice also improves memory. A new study shows that drinking apple juice prevents the decline of an essential neurotransmitter known as acetylcholine.
6. Helps fight Alzheimer’s Disease: Antioxidant- rich apple juice may also reduce problems associated with memory loss and help fight Alzheimer’s Disease.

With the many benefits drinking of apple juice, it’s no wonder then that one for the country’s most conscientious mom, Janice Crisostomo- Villanueva  likes stocking up Mott’s 100% Original Apple Juice.

Mommy Mundo founder, Janice, says, “Like most moms today, I am discerning about what I put in the grocery cart, what goes into our refrigerator, what goes into my kids’ bodies. First thing we moms do when we consider buying a product is usually check the label.”

Janice continues, “When you see a label like that of Mott’s we sometimes feel we hit the jackpot because we’ve found a healthier alternative for our family. The fact that it not not only tastes good, but it is 100% Apple Juice, with 0% fat, no sugar added, is gluten free and with added Vitamin C and knowing that it has been a well loved brand for more than a century makes Mott’s a perfect complement to my goals for a healthy lifestyle for me and my family.”

Aside from the above mentioned benefits of apple, it can trigger creativity din yata..kase after drinking a glass of Mott’s 100% Original Apple Juice, we were challenged to recycle an empty bottle of Mott’s and turn it into something artistic.. and our group came up with a Christmas tree (walang gunting yan ha!)

Malapit na magpasko and apple really reminds me of Christmas…dati kase that was the only time na kumakain kame  ng apples… but thanks to this event, now I know how beneficial apple is! Like Janice, I’ll be hoarding stocking up on Mott’s 100% Original Apple Juice.
