　　Apples are a type of fruit from the plant kingdom, typically producing multiple flowers and fruits, and are rich in nutrients with dietary therapy and auxiliary treatment benefits. People who eat more apples have a significantly lower chance of catching a cold compared to those who don’t eat or eat fewer apples. Therefore, scientists and doctors refer to apples as “all-around healthy fruit” or even “the doctor of all trades.” Now that air pollution is relatively severe, eating more apples can improve respiratory and lung function, protecting the lungs from dust and smoke in the air.
