Apples are one of the most common fruits in people's daily lives. Apples are not only delicious, but also affordable. Most importantly, apples have great health benefits. Let's take a look at the benefits of eating an apple a day!
1. Relieves diarrhea
Apples contain tannic acid, malic acid, organic acids, pectin, and fiber, which have astringent properties. The pectin and fiber can absorb bacteria and toxins in the body, so they can help stop diarrhea. Just eat one apple on an empty stomach in the morning and evening to see the effect. For treating water diarrhea, cook some semi-ripe apples with water and consume the soup.
2. Promotes bowel movement
The organic acids and fiber in apples can promote intestinal peristalsis and soften the stool, making it easier to excrete. Therefore, eating apples can promote bowel movement and treat constipation. It is recommended to eat baked apples.
3. Helps with weight loss
The abundant vitamins and malic acid in apples can stimulate the decomposition of fat accumulated in the body. Regular consumption of apples can prevent obesity. Those with excessive fat intake should eat some sour apples.
According to foreign research, each apple can reduce body weight by 0.5 kg to 1 kg. Divide 1500 grams of fresh apples into 6 portions and eat 250 grams each time. Repeat this for 18 days.
4. Prevents and treats anemia
Eating apples regularly can increase hemoglobin levels and make the skin fair and rosy. Therefore, for anemic patients, eating apples can have a certain auxiliary therapeutic effect. Apples can be eaten raw or baked.
5. Prevents aging
Calcium and vitamin E in apples have diuretic and beauty effects, which can help prevent aging.
6. Prevents stroke
Apples are not only beneficial to health, but also a guardian for women's health. It is best to eat apples with the skin, as the flavonoids in the apple peel have higher content and stronger antioxidant activity, and can prevent strokes in middle-aged and elderly women. However, due to the use of a large amount of pesticides in the cultivation of apples, if apples are not carefully washed before eating, the residual fertilizers and pesticides on the apple peel may cause various diseases such as leukemia. Therefore, if the "naturalness" of apples cannot be guaranteed, it is best to wash and peel them before eating.
7. Relieves fatigue
Apples contain a large amount of fiber, which can help maintain blood sugar levels in the body. Therefore, eating an apple can make you feel full, making it the best food when hungry. It can also be eaten in moderation when feeling tired, as it has good preventive and restorative effects on fatigue.
