What are the benefits of eating apples?

Apple is a good health fruit and has many medicinal effects. Let’s take a look.

We all know that apple means peace apple. It not only refers to the name of our apple, but also because of the nutritional value of our apple. Apple contains a lot of sugars and vitamins, etc. It is the most comprehensive healthy fruit, and its nutritional value is also very high. So apple has some therapeutic effects. Let us tell you about the therapeutic effects of apple.

Prevent cancer

Research from Hirosaki University in Japan has confirmed that polyphenols in apples can inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells. A study in Finland is even more exciting: the flavonoids contained in apples are highly effective antioxidants. They are not only the best blood vessel cleaners, but also the nemesis of cancer. If people eat more apples, the risk of lung cancer can be reduced by 46%, and the risk of other cancers can be reduced by 20%. The latest research from the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research also tells us that proanthocyanidins in apples can prevent colon cancer.

Strengthens bones

Apples contain minerals such as boron and manganese that can strengthen bones. A US study found that boron can significantly increase the concentration of estrogen and other compounds in the blood, which can effectively prevent calcium loss. Medical experts believe that if postmenopausal women can take 3 grams of boron every day, their calcium loss rate can be reduced by 46%. Eating more apples is beneficial to calcium absorption and utilization, and can prevent and treat osteoporosis.

Maintaining acid-base balance

70% of diseases occur in people with acidic constitutions, and apples are alkaline foods. Eating apples can quickly neutralize excess acidic substances in the body (including acid produced by exercise and acidic metabolites produced in the body by acidic foods such as fish, meat, and eggs), thereby enhancing physical strength and disease resistance.

Antioxidant Effect

A research team from Cornell University in the United States immersed the brain cells of mice in a liquid containing quercetin and vitamin C and found that the antioxidant capacity of the brain cells was significantly enhanced. Compared with other fruits and vegetables, apples contain the best quercetin, and red apples are better than yellow and green apples. Therefore, apples are the best food for patients with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's syndrome.

In fact, apples have many therapeutic effects on our health and are very important to our health, so we can eat some apples appropriately. However, because apples contain more sugar, people with high blood sugar should be careful when eating them.
