Metabolic syndrome
is a cluster of biochemical and physiological abnormalities associated with the development of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes

The
apple eaters also had lower levels of C-reactive protein, a marker of inflammation whose presence in the blood suggests an increased risk for heart disease and diabetes

Slide8Exercise Extender
Apples deliver an antioxidant called

, which aids endurance by making oxygen more available to the
lungs [1].
More oxygen equates to a better VO2 Max and your body’s availability to supply oxygen to working muscles for a longer period of time.
