Apples are beloved fruits worldwide and offer numerous health benefits for the human body. They help clear heat, produce body fluids, and moisten the lungs, effectively quenching thirst and alleviating dry coughs.

Raw apples, classified as a cooling food, are known for their ability to relieve constipation, while cooked apples are beneficial for those experiencing chronic diarrhea. If you struggle with poor blood circulation due to cold but still enjoy apples, consider eating cooked apples with cinnamon, as cinnamon helps increase body heat.
