The mistake of most Vietnamese people when eating apples causes the body to suffer in many ways.
Research has shown that eating unpeeled apples is more beneficial than just eating the flesh. Although it is easier to eat without the skin, it is not really good for your health.
"Apples are full of good nutrients and the polyphenols in apple peels are becoming the key to good health.Recent research has found that polyphenols found in apples have a major impact on weight loss and inhibit the growth of cancer cells, even slowing the progression of osteoarthritis,” said Dr.
When it comes to apples, peeling them is delicious, but you can get a healthy serving by eating them whole. Polyphenols are also found in green tea and blueberries.
Dr. McMillan recommends eating apples with cheese, nut butter; or blended with spinach, cucumber, celery, mint and a slice of lemon (with the peel).
1. The secret to losing weight with apples
Apples are often included in healthy diets, helping you lose weight easily by controlling your appetite and keeping you feeling full longer.
Published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition, a review of 13 studies found that high levels of polyphenols in apples, especially in the peel, may be directly linked to weight loss and prevention of weight gain.
Researchers found in apples some polyphenols that reduce fat and carb absorption, others that help our bodies break down fat for use as energy, and some that benefit the gut.
2. Apples fight cancer
Regularly eating apples will reduce the risk of some of the most common cancers including breast cancer, prostate cancer, colorectal cancer...
A recent Italian study found that polyphenols in apples help stop the growth of breast cancer cells in the lab. Dr. McMillan said:
“We can't yet suggest that eating apples will have the same effect on the body, but it's an exciting study that is starting to shed light on why apples might have anti-cancer effects.”
3. Apples are good for the heart
There is significant research showing that regular apple consumption may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. A Chinese study found that both polyphenols from apple peel and flesh helped lower blood pressure and cholesterol, and reduced insulin resistance (animal testing).
4. Apples are good for skin and bones
Apples may help improve osteoarthritis, a research team has found. A recent Japanese study revealed that apple polyphenols – specifically procyanidin polyphenols – help maintain healthy cartilage in joints and slow the progression of osteoarthritis (in laboratory and animal studies).
