In addition, the antioxidant property of apples reduces the oxidation of fats, called lipid peroxidation, as well as neutralizing various fats found in blood vessels that can exert dangerous pressure. The flavonoid quercetin, which is present in the apple's skin, reduces inflammation in our blood vessels.
