Science may have just proven why apples are the ‘forbidden fruit’.
Women who eat more apples may have better sex, suggests new research from Italy.
The study, published in Archives of Gynecology and Obstetrics, analyzed 731 sexually active, healthy (no history of sexual disorder) Italian women between the ages of 18 and 43.
The group of women who consumed one to two apples a day scored higher on their Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) – a 19 question survey about their sexual activities – than those in the no apple group.
Eating more apples increased arousal, sexual function, and lubrication.
This made their sexual experiences more pleasurable according to those findings.
