What are the benefits of eating apples?

There are many benefits of eating apples:

1. Lower cholesterol: Eating apples can reduce the cholesterol content in the blood, increase bile secretion and bile acid function, thus preventing cholesterol from forming gallstones in the bile. Some experiments found that more than 50% of people who regularly eat apples have cholesterol levels that are 10% lower than those who do not eat apples.

2. Anti-cancer and anti-cancer: reduce the risk of lung cancer, prevent lead poisoning, proanthocyanidins can prevent colon cancer.

3. Vascular Cleansing Agent: Improves respiratory system and lung function, protects lungs from pollution and smoke.

4. Laxative and anti-diarrheal dual functions: The cellulose contained in apples can make feces in the large intestine soft; apples are rich in organic acids, which can stimulate gastrointestinal peristalsis and promote smooth stool. On the other hand, apples contain pectin, which can inhibit abnormal peristalsis of the intestine, slow down digestive activities, and thus suppress mild diarrhea.

5. Maintain acid-base balance: Apples are alkaline foods. Eating apples can quickly neutralize too much acidic substances in the body (including the acid produced by sports (sports food) and the acidic metabolites produced by acidic foods such as fish, meat, and eggs) To enhance physical strength and disease resistance.

6. Weight loss: Apple will increase satiety, eating before meals can reduce the amount of food eaten, to achieve weight loss.

7. Soothe emotions: Apple contains more potassium, which can be combined with excess sodium salt in the body to make it excreted. When the body consumes too much sodium, eating some apples helps to balance the body's electrolytes. Elements such as phosphorus and iron contained in apples are easily absorbed by the intestinal wall, and have the effects of nourishing the brain and nourishing the nerves, and calming the nerves. Apple's aroma is a good medicine for depression and depression. Experts have found through many experiments that, among many odors, the aroma of apple has the greatest psychological impact on people, and it has the obvious effect of eliminating psychological depression. Clinical use proves that after letting the mentally depressed patients smell the aroma of apples, their moods are greatly improved, their spirits are relaxed and happy, and their sense of depression disappears. Experiments also prove that insomniac patients can smell the smell of apples before falling asleep, which can make people fall asleep faster and quieter.
