(ORDO NEWS) — Apples are one of the most underrated fruits. While everyone is chasing exotic papayas, dragon fruit and so on, we are losing a very valuable and affordable source of vitamins right under our noses.
An American magazine that studies the benefits of various foods conducted a study on apples.
It turned out that it is useful for both adults and children to eat two fruits every day. Such dietary changes will help lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke.
You just need to eat fresh apples: store-bought canned puree or juice will not have such a positive effect. Apple chips are also useless. If you think about your health, eat only fresh fruits.
To prove this fact, scientists gathered a group of volunteers. Forty people were divided into two subgroups. In one, people ate 2 apples every day, and in the second they drank juice.
Then, after a while, people were switched places. The experiment lasted 8 weeks. The results pleasantly surprised both the people who participated and the scientists.
The results showed the following: those who eat fresh apples have lower blood cholesterol levels. Also, this fruit reduces the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
The skin of apples contains quercetin, a natural anti-inflammatory substance that helps with insulin resistance.
Also, this fruit is rich in vitamins A, C, B1, B2, PP and E. In addition, apples are rich in minerals (magnesium, iodine, potassium, iron, etc.). Magnesium stabilizes the nervous system, iron increases the level of hemoglobin in the blood.
Dentists say that apples are very good for teeth, can easily replace brushing if there is no brush and paste at hand.
This fruit is available and inexpensive. It can be added to baby food, and also chosen as a healthy snack for adults.
