Hi stemian
Back again with me, this time I will explain a little knowledge of the benefits of apples.
In addition, the apple has advantages with many positive benefits. In fact, many studies have shown the effect of apples in reducing the risk of cancer, heart disease, asthma, diabetes and helping to lose weight.
The basis of all the benefits of apples for health is the fact that apples are very rich in pythochemicals, bioactive compounds that act as anti-oxidants to protect the body's cells from free radical damage.
1.Apple Reduce the risk of cancer
Flavonoids such as quercetin present in apples are useful in maintaining oxygen molecules from damaging individual cells. This can prevent cell changes that can lead to the development of cancer cells. According to a study involving 10,000 people, those who consume apples have a 50% lower risk of lung cancer.
In other studies, apples can also reduce the risk of breast cancer by 17 percent and colon cancer by 43 percent. Reducing the risk of cancer is associated with pectin in apples (acting as a fiber) that helps regulate defecation and maintain a healthy digestive tract.
2.Apples Reduce LDL cholesterol
Apples are a good source of pectin that helps in reducing LDL cholesterol levels. Pectin binds cholesterol and fat before the body absorbs them. Polyphenols found in apples are also shown to lower cholesterol. By eating 2 apples per day, you can lower cholesterol levels by 10 percent.
3.Apple Reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease (Heart, Stroke)
Quercetin found in apples has been shown to protect against heart disease. A study of 40,000 women, found that those who consumed apples had a 13-22% decreased risk of cardiovascular disease such as heart disease and stroke than those who did not.
4.Apples Reduce the risk of diabetes
Pectin in apples delivers galacturonic acid to the body that has the benefit of lowering the body's need for insulin and helps in the management of diabetes. A study found that women who ate at least one apple a day were 28% less likely to have type 2 diabetes than those who did not eat apples.
5.Apple Helps the Digestive Process
Apples are rich in fiber that is known to help the digestive process. Apple Skin is considered the best fiber and medicine for constipation.
6.Benefits of Apples to Maintain Dental Health
The fiber in the apple cleans the teeth, while the anti-viral properties of apples keep from bacteria and viruses. Chewing apples also stimulates the production of saliva in the mouth, which helps in reducing tooth decay by reducing the number of bacteria.
7.Apple Strengthens Bones
Apples contain a flavanoid called phloridzin, known to protect post-menopausal women from osteoporosis and also increase bone density. Apples also contain boron that helps strengthen bones.
8.Apples Boosts Immune System
Soluble fiber like pectin in apples is beneficial to reduce inflammation and boost the immune system. According to the study, soluble fiber can alter immune cells by increasing the production of anti-inflammatory proteins, interleukin 4.
9.Apple Helps Lose Weight
Low-calorie apples. The average size of apples has only about 80 calories, which means it has a relatively high water content of the calorie content. This makes it possible to have a fullness / satiety when taking a few calories.
10.Apple Reduces Risk of Alzheimer's Disease
A study found that eating apples and drinking apple juice could improve brain health and reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease. According to one study, quercetin in apples can protect brain cells from free radical damage that can cause Alzheimer's disease.
11.Apples Reduce the Risk of Parkinson's Disease
A new study found that eating an apple a day supplied phytochemicals, which play an important role in reducing the risk of Parkinson's disease, a progressive chronic disorder of the central nervous system characterized by the function of neurons in the brain.
12.Apple Maintains Hair Growth
A study in Japan showed that B2 procyanidin in apples can increase hair growth.
maybe this is just a story from me, may be useful
thank you
