Apples, particularly Red Delicious, are known to anti-inflammatory flavonoid called quercetin, especially in their skins. Quercetin has been shown to reduce the risk of allergies, eart attack, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and prostate and lung cancers.
Raspberries contain the flavonoid catechin, an antioxidant that reduces the risks for atherosclerosis and cancer.
Catechins and quercetin loosen clumpy blood platelets, improving cardiovascular health and providing anticoagulant activity.
