2. Apples are a good source of dietary fiber; one apple provides nearly 20 percent of an individual's recommended daily intake.

3. Apples and apple products contain between 3 and 8 percent of one's daily recommended intake of potassium. Consuming 3,500 milligrams of this essential nutrient each day may help reduce high blood pressure.
