Chinese medicine believes that apples can strengthen the spleen and stomach, nourish the heart and replenish qi, moisten the lungs and relieve summer heat.
Nutritionists evaluate that apples can enhance memory, lower cholesterol and lower blood pressure. ......
It can be seen that apple is recognized as a healthy fruit with rich nutrition, multiple functions and good health.
When you go to buy apples, you will find that there are all kinds of apples on the market, except for different skin colors and different tastes. Generally speaking, red apples taste more like noodles, and green apples are more crisp.
So which apple is healthier? Red apples? Or a green apple?
A few years ago, an article in a health magazine said that apples of different colors have different health values:
Red apples: lowering blood fat, benefiting heart and improving memory. ...
Green apple: beneficial to teeth and bones, nourishing liver and detoxifying. ...
Yellow apple: beneficial to human immune system and protecting eyesight. ...
However, later studies showed that the nutritional differences of apples with different colors were not as great as expected.
Generally speaking, these apples have similar nutrients.
The nutritional components of green apples and red apples were analyzed and compared:
It can be seen that vitamin A in green apples has more advantages, which is conducive to improving vision and supporting bone health.
Red apples have more advantages in antioxidant components, which helps to prevent cardiovascular diseases.
Green apples with low sugar and high fiber may be more popular with slimming people.
But to tell the truth, the two apples have little difference in other nutrients except vitamin A and antioxidants. Therefore, green apples and red apples are equally beneficial to our health, and the two apples can actually achieve the same effect.
Some nutritionists believe that there is little difference in nutrition between apples of different colors, but the taste is very different. If you don't like the taste of an apple, you don't have to choose it because of the different nutrients.
The key to choosing apples is freshness. Then choose according to your own taste, no matter what kind of apples you eat, you can achieve the desired health effect.
