Apple is sweet and crisp, bright in color and rich in sugar, vitamins and minerals. Recently, they have become a sacred product to lose weight. I heard that people who are busy outside often can't eat normally for three meals, so they can take chocolate or candy with them to satisfy their hunger in case they are hungry. Now apples can even replace chocolate and become the best choice for health and temporary filling. As the saying goes, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away!" Why are apples so popular with people who love beauty and pay attention to health? It turns out that apples are rich in soluble colloidal fiber, which can prevent the body from absorbing fat. According to research, eating apples can reduce body fat by about 43%. The gum in apples can absorb a lot of water, soften the digested residue and prevent constipation. If we can keep the digestive system and excretory system unblocked, it will be of great help to the beauty and luster of the skin and the normal operation of the body. Especially the hectic life of modern people, constipation and other digestive diseases have become a common problem. In Huatuo's fruit and vegetable recipes, eating apples can reduce liver fire, stomach fire and large intestine fire, which has a great effect on human excretion and detoxification. Because the cellulose in apples can help maintain the blood sugar level in the body, you won't feel hungry after eating apples, which has the function of preventing and restoring fatigue. At the moment when there are many delicious foods and complicated affairs, it is a great enjoyment for tourists to eat sweet and delicious apple puree or chew a crisp and refreshing apple. "An apple a day" is a well-known health slogan. Indeed, apples are rich in sugars, organic acids, cellulose, vitamins, minerals, polyphenols and flavonoids, and are called "all-round healthy fruits" by scientists. So, what health care function makes it win such a good reputation? Hypolipidemic: The human experiment of Japan Fruit Research Institute showed that after eating two apples a day, the triglyceride level in the blood of the subjects decreased by 265,438+0 after three weeks, and the high triglyceride level was the chief culprit of arteriosclerosis. After apple pectin enters the human body, it can combine with bile acids, absorb excess cholesterol and triglycerides like a sponge, and then excrete it. At the same time, the acetic acid decomposed by apple is beneficial to the catabolism of these two substances. In addition, vitamins, fructose and magnesium in apples can also reduce their content. Lowering blood pressure: Excessive sodium is an important factor causing hypertension and stroke. Apples contain enough potassium, which can be combined with excess sodium in the body and excreted, thus lowering blood pressure. At the same time, potassium ion can effectively protect blood vessels and reduce the incidence of hypertension and stroke. Dr Susan Arlich, a famous British pharmacologist, found that polyphenols and flavonoids contained in apples can effectively prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Prevention of cancer: A study by Hirosaki University in Japan confirmed that polyphenols in apples can inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells. A study in Finland is even more exciting: flavonoids contained in apples are an efficient antioxidant, not only the best vascular cleaner, but also the bane of cancer. If people eat more apples, the chances of getting lung cancer can be reduced by 46, and the chances of getting other cancers can be reduced by 20. The latest research by the French National Institute of Health Medicine also tells us that proanthocyanidins in apples can prevent colon cancer.
