Apple is the most common and most commonly eaten fruit in people's daily life. So what good does it do?
Here are some benefits of eating apples.
8 major advantages:
1. Prevent cancer
Apple polyphenols can inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells. The flavonoids contained in apples are a kind of high-efficiency antioxidant. They are not only the best blood vessel cleansers but also the killer of cancer. The procyanidins in apples can prevent colon cancer.
2. Lower blood pressure
Apples contain more potassium, which can combine with excess sodium in the human body and excrete it from the body.
3. Enrich blood
Iron must be absorbed under acidic conditions and the presence of vitamin C, so eating apples has a good preventive effect on iron deficiency anemia.
4. Antioxidant
Quercetin has a strong antioxidant capacity, and compared with other vegetables and fruits, the quercetin contained in apples is the best. Apples are the best food for people with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
5. Protect the heart
Eating two apples or drinking one and a half cups of pure apple juice every day can lower the "bad cholesterol" content in the blood, prevent arterial thrombosis, and prevent heart disease.
6. Strong bones
Apples contain the bone-strengthening mineral elements boron and manganese. If postmenopausal women can take 3 grams of boron every day, their calcium loss rate can be reduced by 46%.
7. Lower cholesterol
Eating apples can lower blood cholesterol levels, increase bile secretion and bile acid function, and prevent cholesterol from forming gallstones in bile.
8. Smell the aroma of apples to relieve anxiety
The aroma of apples is a great medicine for depression and feelings of depression. The smell of green apples can help eliminate anxiety and make depressed people feel light and happy.
