There are many benefits of apples. There is a western proverb: "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." Apple has high nutritional value and contains many vitamins. Apple contains 15% carbohydrate and pectin, and is also rich in vitamins A, C, E, K and antioxidants. Apples contain polyphenols and flavonoids, which are natural chemical antioxidants, and can remove the metabolic "garbage" in the body in time and reduce the content of neutral fat in the blood. Neutral fat is the chief culprit of vascular sclerosis, which is particularly important for preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Dutch medical scientists found that if 805 male subjects aged 65-84 eat 1-2 apples a day, the risk of heart disease can be reduced by half. American scientists pointed out that a medium-sized peeled apple can provide 3.9 grams of cellulose, while pectin, a soluble fiber in apples, can effectively lower cholesterol. Experiments show that people who eat two apples a day can reduce their cholesterol by 16%. A research report published by Finnish researchers shows that eating apples regularly can reduce the risk of lung cancer. They pointed out that flavonoids contained in apples are important antioxidants produced by metabolism and the main reason for reducing the incidence of lung cancer. Apples contain much more calcium than ordinary fruits, which helps to metabolize excess salt in the body. Malic acid can metabolize calories and prevent obesity in the lower body. As for soluble fiber pectin, it can solve constipation. Pectin can also promote the excretion of lead, mercury and manganese in gastrointestinal tract, regulate the blood sugar level of human body and prevent the sudden rise and fall of blood sugar. Apples have high nutritional value, but we should pay attention to chewing slowly. If an apple can be eaten within 15 minutes, the organic acids and fruit acids in the apple can kill bacteria in the mouth. So eating apples slowly is more conducive to human health. The edible function of apples has been confirmed by many scientists. For example, you don't have to starve, take medicine or spend money. You can only eat apples until you are full in three days, and you can lose 3 to 5 kilograms. This is a popular "three-day apple diet" in Japan. Apples contain more potassium and less sodium, which can lower blood pressure; Apple pectin can lower cholesterol; Apples contain flavonoids, which can reduce the occurrence of coronary heart disease and induce heart disease; Apples are rich in antioxidants, which can reduce the risk of cancer. This shows that apples are very healthy fruits. Think about it. After eating apples for three days, you can lose 3 to 5 kilograms and stay healthy. Would you like to try? The advantage of eating apples to lose weight is that you don't have to go hungry. If you are hungry, eat apples. Because it is a low-calorie food, no matter how much you eat, it will not be more calories than your daily intake, so you will naturally lose weight. People who eat apples to lose weight can also improve symptoms such as dry skin, allergic dermatitis and constipation. You know, our appetite is controlled by the brain. When the central nervous system sends out the command of "want to eat, want to eat", you will become very greedy. However, no matter how delicious the food is, if you eat too much, you will get tired. For example, you like cake very much, but if it's the same cake, you can't eat many pieces after dinner, can you? Similarly, if you eat two or three apples at a time, your brain will tell you that you are full, so you won't actually eat too many apples and consume too many calories. If you can't implement the three-day apple diet, you can start in a day or two. As long as you do it, it will work. For example, you can start from one day a week and increase it to two or three days after you get used to it. People who are not used to it, it is best not to exceed three days, in order to avoid central nervous system dysfunction, but will overeat after losing weight and become fatter than before. Apple weight loss method ① Eat only apples for three consecutive days, and don't eat other fruits and foods. You can eat apples according to the time of three meals, or you can eat them when you are hungry until you are full. Any kind of apples will do, but red apples are the best. Green apples are sour, for fear of irritating the stomach. Apples should be eaten fresh, washed and peeled to avoid pesticide residues. During these three days, when you are thirsty, you can drink boiled water or non-irritating tea, such as mint tea, wheat tea, safflower tea and houttuynia tea. During weight loss, your stomach will be very sensitive, so avoid drinking caffeinated drinks, such as black tea, coffee, green tea and oolong tea. , to avoid gastrointestinal discomfort. ⑦ If constipation occurs during apple weight loss, you can drink one or two spoonfuls of olive oil to moisten the intestines on the third night to promote the excretion of toxins accumulated in the body. After eating for three days, your stomach will be tender, your taste will be sensitive, and your stomach will become smaller because you stay away from irritating food. Starting from the fourth day, your diet should be slowly restored. Don't eat a lot of food at once, especially don't eat snacks. In the first three days of resuming diet, it is best to start with porridge and tofu. In short, when you resume your diet after losing weight, the food should be light and not excessive, so that the effect of losing weight will last. Apple's weight loss is equivalent to a general cleaning of the body's digestive system. If you are really fat, it is impossible to get back into shape if you want to be an apple to lose weight. It is best to do it once a month or two until it is reduced to the ideal weight. Five reasons why apples can lose weight ① Because of the decrease in food intake, digestive organs such as the stomach and intestines can recuperate. During dieting, by eating less or losing weight regularly, the digestive system can rest, restore its original function and operate normally. (2) Apple can improve the function of kidney or stomach, expel waste gas in the body and purify blood. It can excrete blood stasis (old blood), feces (old feces) and water poisoning (the cause of edema) in the body, and the body becomes healthier. (3) Apple's weight loss reduces the calorie intake of the human body, and the insufficient part needs the accumulated calorie supply in the body. The so-called heat accumulated in the body is fat. When the excess fat in the body is consumed, people will naturally become thinner. (4) Obese people are almost always overeating, which makes their stomachs swell and can't control their appetite. Apple diet can make the stomach contract, after losing weight, the appetite becomes easy to control, the taste becomes normal, and people will not like irritating food or greasy food. ⑤ Apples can promote the production of white blood cells in the blood, improve the body's resistance and immunity, and at the same time promote nerve and endocrine functions, which is helpful for beauty. 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.
