Apples are one of the most affordable and delicious types of fruits. In addition to excellent taste, they have a host of unique beneficial properties. Including apples in your diet is recommended not only by nutritionists, but also by many other medical specialists.
Instructions
Step 1
Apples contain a variety of trace elements - phosphorus, potassium, sodium, magnesium, aluminum, sulfur, vanadium, boron, iodine, iron, molybdenum, copper, chromium, fluorine, nickel and zinc. The peel of the fruit contains flavonoids. The fruits themselves are eighty-five percent water.
Step 2
Apples tidy up the functions of the digestive system and gastrointestinal tract, help fight constipation and excessive appetite.
Step 3
Chlorogenic acid, which is found in decent quantities in apples, removes oxalic acid from the body and normalizes liver activity.
Step 4
Thanks to pectin and other soluble fibers, apples lower blood cholesterol levels. One unpeeled apple contains about three and a half grams of these fibers, which is ten percent of the daily value. The molecules of these fibers attach to the cholesterol plaques, removing them from the body and reducing the risk of blockages and heart attacks.
Step 5
Apple peel contains a huge amount of the antioxidant quetzitin, which, in combination with vitamin C, reduces the negative effects of free radicals on the body.
Step 6
Apples are recommended for use with a low level of vitamin C, vitamin deficiency and anemia. From sour apples, an extract of malic acid iron is obtained (two parts of iron are added to one hundred parts of natural juice). This extract is used for anemia.
Step 7
Apples relieve the condition of the body with gout or chronic rheumatism, as they prevent the formation of uric acid. In the presence of these diseases, doctors recommend drinking infusions and decoctions of apples.
Step 8
These fruits have remarkable dietary qualities, while they have a tonic effect on the body. With a slow metabolism, it is necessary to include at least one green apple in your daily diet, preferably raw, since heat treatment deprives it of a significant part of its beneficial properties. Apples are the simplest way to provide the body with all the necessary micronutrients during strict diets.
Step 9
Experts believe that apple phytoncides can fight the pathogens of Proteus, Staphylococcus aureus, dysentery and influenza viruses. In addition, apples are recommended for use during the recovery period after a heart attack, since these fruits effectively strengthen the cardiovascular system, and their juice contains a large amount of hematopoietic elements.
