How to eat apples is healthy?
Apples are rich in a variety of healthy nutrients, which have numerous health benefits and are deeply loved by people all over the world. However, Australia's "Perfect Health" website recently issued a reminder that eating apples should not be too hard, because the core contains hydrocyanic acid, which is not good for health. Apple core contains hydrocyanic acid, but few people know it. Australian researchers found that apple core contains a small amount of harmful substance-hydrocyanic acid. A large amount of hydrocyanic acid deposited in the body will lead to dizziness, headache, increased respiratory rate and other symptoms, which may lead to coma in severe cases. But don't worry too much, the hydrocyanic acid in apples mainly exists in the stone, not in the pulp. Need to be reminded: eating apples is used to gnawing at the core, although it will not cause poisoning immediately, but eating like this for a long time is really bad for your health. Potential "Poisoning" Danger of Apple: Erythropoietin Coloring Nowadays, people often complain that "eating fruit has no fruity taste", because many fruits use excessive growth regulators, erythropoietin and swelling agents in the growth process, or use excessive preservatives in storage, and even use colorants, waxing, bleaching and dyeing in sales to satisfy consumers' psychology of "judging a book by its appearance". These poisonous fruits have become public hazards that seriously threaten people's health. The harm of eating apples: inflation hormone urges you, lycopene adds color, and preservatives keep fresh. Excessive use of dilators, erythropoietin and preservatives can harm the liver. Retailers will also wax apples with industrial paraffin wax to keep them moist and make the fruits bright and attractive. What if there is wax on the apple skin? From the point of view of nutrition, we should choose to eat apples with skin, because the skin of apples contains more antioxidants than the pulp. In fact, the wax on the apple skin is mainly divided into the following three types: first, the natural fruit wax on the apple surface itself, which is a lipid component and a plant protective layer generated on the apple surface, which can effectively prevent external microorganisms and pesticides. From the invasion of pulp, and play a protective role, it is not necessary to delete. The second is the edible wax artificially added by some imported apples. This "artificial fruit wax" is actually a chitosan substance, which is mostly extracted from crustaceans such as crabs and shells. This substance itself is harmless to the body, and its function is mainly to keep fresh and prevent apples from rotting and deteriorating during long-distance transportation and long-term storage. Removing this layer of wax is also very simple, and it can be removed by washing it directly with hot water. The third kind is industrial wax, in which mercury and lead may penetrate into the pulp through the peel and cause harm to the human body. The identification method is: wipe the surface of the peel with hands or napkins. If you can wipe off the faint red substance, it may be industrial wax. Different colors of apples have different health care effects, and the color of apples can predict the health care effect. For example: red apples: more beneficial to the heart, improve memory and maintain the health of the urinary system; Green apples: more conducive to strong teeth and bones; Yellow apple: It can strengthen the human immune system and is also good for preventing some cancers. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that different colors of apples have different health care functions. Red apples enter the heart: the effect of lowering blood fat and softening blood vessels is stronger, which can protect cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health, and the elderly can eat more. Green apple: It has the effect of nourishing liver and detoxifying, and can resist depression, so it is more suitable for young people to eat. In addition, green apples can also promote the growth of teeth and bones and prevent gum bleeding. Yellow apple: It has a good effect on protecting eyesight. Office workers who often use computers can eat properly. Lovely Apple-"General Practitioner" As early as in ancient Egypt, people regarded apples not only as food, but also as medicinal materials. Canadian research shows that apple juice has a powerful killing effect on infectious viruses in test tubes, and people who eat more apples are far less likely to catch a cold than those who don't eat or eat less. Apple contains more potassium, which can be combined with excess sodium salt in human body and excreted. When the human body ingests too much sodium salt, eating some apples is beneficial to balance the electrolytes in the body. The phosphorus, iron and other elements contained in apples are easily absorbed by the intestinal wall, which has the functions of nourishing the brain, calming the nerves and helping sleep. The aroma of apples is a good medicine for depression and depression. After many experiments, experts found that among many smells, the aroma of apples has the greatest impact on people's psychology and has obvious effect on eliminating psychological depression. Clinical application has proved that patients with depression have greatly improved their mood and relaxed spirit. After smelling the fragrance of apples, the sense of depression disappears.

Wash and juice apples, and take 100 ml each time, three times a day, and take 15 days continuously as a course of treatment, which has the effect of lowering blood pressure in patients with hypertension.

Apple has high nutritional value and is rich in vitamins and acids. According to experts, eating apples should not be too fast. Chewing in the mouth for a long time can secrete more saliva and gastric juice, which is conducive to promoting the absorption and digestion of apple nutrients by the human body. From the point of view of nutrition, we don't advocate' wolfing down'. For people with bad stomach, it is especially necessary to pay attention to the speed of eating apples. Eating too fast can easily lead to indigestion and discomfort. Everyone may have had this experience: if an apple is eaten for a long time, the bitten surface will turn yellow, and the water content of that part of the pulp will also decrease, making it more "soft" and less brittle. Fu Jinru explained that this is actually the result of apple oxidation. Although the appearance is ugly and the taste is not particularly good, in fact, its nutrients have not been lost. Generally speaking, eating it will not cause harm.
