The efficacy and method of steaming apples

Apples can be eaten fresh or steamed. Steamed apples are more tender, nutritious, and have excellent therapeutic effects. So what are the specific effects of steamed apples? How should they be prepared?

Benefits of Steaming Apples

1. Treat diarrhea

Steamed apples contain large amounts of tannic acid, dietary fiber and pectin. Tannic acid is a natural astringent that can reduce the water content in the stool and stop diarrhea. The pectin it contains can be astringent, stop diarrhea and eliminate intestinal inflammation after being heated at high temperatures. They both have obvious therapeutic effects on diarrhea, which is common in humans.

2. Lose weight

Steamed apples can also help you lose weight. The natural fruit acid they contain will be significantly more active after high-temperature treatment, making it easily absorbed and utilized by the human body. After the human body absorbs the fruit acid, it can not only speed up the body's metabolism, but also reduce the accumulation of fat in the human body and reduce the body's absorption of calories, thus playing an important role in losing weight.
