Health benefits of steamed apples that you don't know

According to Physician Do Minh Tuan, Do Minh Duong Traditional Medicine Clinic (Hanoi), with its sweet taste and neutral properties, apples are not only a favorite food but also a precious medicinal herb that can be used to treat many diseases, especially those related to blood, energy and the spleen.

Nourishing blood and vital energy to keep the body healthy

Physician Do Minh Tuan said that apples are considered a good medicine for people with weak bodies and blood deficiency. Apples help replenish energy and strengthen blood by improving blood circulation and strengthening the function of the spleen and stomach.

When the body lacks blood, you will feel tired, have dull skin, and are susceptible to colds and infections. At this time, steamed apples help replenish nutrients for the body, helping to recover quickly. In addition, they provide easily absorbed nutrients, nourish internal organs, and restore balance in the body.

Sedative, cure insomnia

Apples contain many saponins and active ingredients that help nourish the mind, calm the nerves, and reduce anxiety and stress. These substances are great for calming the nerves, treating insomnia, and helping you sleep deeply and soundly.

Kidney tonic, heat clearing

Steamed apples are suitable for those who work long hours under the sun, or work in polluted environments, where the body is susceptible to toxins and bacteria. Apples also help nourish the kidneys, help clear heat and detoxify, regulate the body, and are very useful for people with hot bodies, prone to mouth ulcers, and constipation.

Apples contain a lot of vitamin C, amino acids and antioxidants, which help detoxify the body, nourish the kidneys and cool the body. Steaming apples will retain many of these nutrients, especially good for people who often have heat in the body, acne, painful urination, or fever.

Skin care, beauty from within

Not only do you need to take care of your skin from the outside, but you also need to take care of it from the inside, and apples are the perfect solution. The active ingredients in apples help nourish the skin from the inside, reducing the formation of acne, melasma, and freckles. Especially for those with dry, lifeless skin or prone to acne.
