Why does the old saying only say "an apple a day keeps the doctor away", but not bananas or pineapples? In fact, this has a lot to do with the nutrients in apples. Compared with some nutrients in other fruits, the nutrients in apples are not outstanding, but the key point is that the nutrients in apples are comprehensive and diverse. Apple is rich in vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin C, vitamin B, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, iron, zinc, selenium and so on. Moreover, apple has another "fruit", that is, it has low calorie and low glycemic index, which is suitable for all people. The aromatic substances in apples can also help calm people's mood and play a role in sleeping.
As mentioned above, in order to be healthy, it is impossible to eat only one kind of food, and a variety of balanced and diverse diets are needed to meet the basic needs of the body for nutrition and ensure the normal physiological function of the body. But in order to better promote health and really keep doctors away, we must meet the following three conditions as much as possible:
The first condition: light diet
Nowadays, many diseases of people come from diet, and when the food is high in oil, it is hard to resist because of its delicious taste, but because of this, the body needs to bear a greater burden and the risk of illness will be higher. Especially: fried food, barbecue, smoked food, etc. In addition to obesity, it will increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, so it is recommended to eat low oil, low salt, low fat and low sugar and cook at low temperature.
The second condition: go to bed early and get up early.
Early to bed and early to rise, sleep is the cornerstone of health. If you don't get enough sleep, such as 7-8 hours a day and often stay up late, it will bring many problems, such as fatigue, listlessness, anxiety, insomnia, constipation, decreased immunity, strong anger, inattention and memory loss. And it will also increase the risk of myocardial infarction or cerebral infarction. Therefore, it is recommended to ensure adequate sleep and develop the habit of going to bed early and getting up early.
The third condition: prevent constipation.
It is very important to protect intestinal health and prevent constipation, because the intestine is the largest immune organ in the human body. If there is something wrong with the intestinal tract, the immunity of the human body will decline, which will easily lead to allergies. There will also be memory loss, inattention, easy illness, great mood swings, insomnia, anxiety, depression, oily pimples on the face, strong liver fire, and increased risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, we should pay attention to prevent constipation at ordinary times.
Apples are rich in nutrition, and many people may wonder whether to eat them every day. In fact, you don't have to eat it every day, but you can eat it often, especially for many people who want to control their weight, as well as diabetics and patients with chronic diseases. An apple the size of a fist is probably the recommended amount of fruit per person per day, which is about half a catty. If family members eat fruit together, they can share it with each other, so as not to overdo it.
