Apple for health:😍
It's the season of apple harvest again, many people must have sounded the old mother's gentle and cordial advice, eat more apples, as the saying goes, "one apple a day, the doctor stays away from me", so our backpacks, pockets will appear from time to time a red big apple.
If you like to eat, eat more, want to rely on it to cure diseases and health, or unreliable.
Too long to look at the version
Some numbers as compared to other fruits:
1. Apples are only "medium students" in the fruit industry in terms of nutritional content, and it is not reliable to eat apples to cure diseases and maintain health.
2. The apple diet method is not very reliable, and the apple juice light fasting method will not make you thin.
3. Don't get entangled in apple peel, eat it if you want, and cut it off if you don't want to eat it.

One apple a day, the doctor stays away:
The phrase "one apple a day, the doctor stays away from me" is familiar and catchy, from eighty teachers to eighty-year-old children, almost everyone will say, maybe someone can sing along to the music, but this saying does not actually originate in China, but comes from the Welsh poetry of Pembrokeshire in the 19th century and 30s, its original text is "an apple before going to bed, the doctor has no bread". Bread here is equivalent to currency, meaning that doctors don't make money. It can be seen that not only Chinese people have a special love for apples, but even foreigners cannot resist the charm of apples.
So does Apple really have such a magical effect, can it really keep people away from doctors? Things are often not so simple.

Love for apples:

So does Apple really have such a magical effect, can it really keep people away from doctors? Things are often not so simple.
Moreover, compared with other fruits and vegetables in terms of content, the nutritional value of apples can only be regarded as the "middle student" in the fruit and vegetable industry, far less "brilliant" than rumored.
You might say, I have some friends around me who eat an apple a day, and they really rarely go to the hospital. That's probably because they pay more attention to their health, and it's not apples that keep them away from doctors, but good habits.
In addition, any disease can not be prevented or treated by simply eating something, and it is really not a reliable thing to use the method of eating apples to stay away from doctors.
The birth of the big guy in the health industry
So what is the reason why Apple has put on a magical coat and become a big man in the health industry?
First of all, apples are easier to grow and care for than other fruits. The apple tree is vigorous and not picky about the soil and environment, and can be seen all over the world, whether it is the Queen of England living in Buckingham Palace, herders running on the African savannah, or Argentine teenagers playing football at their feet.
Global apple production:
In addition, apples have a large production and are convenient for storage. Global apple production is about 8000 million tons per year[2] and continues to grow. At the same time, apples are easy to store, and can even be stored for a year through waxing and low-temperature technology.
Such an "approachable" apple is naturally favored by most people, which is probably the real reason why it has been pushed to the altar of health.
"Legends about apples" on the rivers and lakes, which is reliable?
In addition to "one apple a day, the doctor stays away from me", apples have many "folklore", both true and false, let's reveal the truth about apples.
Legend 1: Eat only apples to lose weight and be healthy
Apple not only shines in the field of "health", but also seems to be different from the usual "fruit" in "weight loss", you can often see many people advocating "apple weight loss", that is, only eat apples every day to achieve the purpose of weight loss, is this weight loss method reliable?
Apples are indeed superior to many other fruits in terms of weight loss, because apples are rich in dietary fiber and water, which will make us feel full, and often eat an apple and feel that we can no longer eat it. In addition, apples are low in calories and belong to low GI fruits, that is, the glycemic index is low, which has a positive effect on stabilizing blood sugar.
Many people said that eating apple weight loss method did lose weight, because there are only more than 100 calories per 50 grams of apples (you can see the previous figure), assuming that each meal eats three apples, 200 grams per apple, eat 9 apples a day, but only 900 calories, and most people eat an apple and are full, the actual intake of calories will be less. That is, even if you don't eat apples, as long as you don't eat enough calories every day, you will lose weight.
But this extreme single diet slimming method is likely to cause great harm to the body: insufficient protein and fat intake, insufficient nutrition to maintain the normal operation of the human body, resulting in decreased immunity. In addition, apples contain a large amount of organic acids, malic acid, citric acid, etc., which will react with stomach acid and form insoluble lumps, causing acute inflammation of the stomach. And once stopped, there is a high probability that it will rebound significantly.
Myth 2: Apple juice is more nutritious
Apples do have a positive effect on weight loss, but apple juice is another matter. Like most fruits, apples contain a lot of fructose, and the sweeter the apple, the higher the fructose content. In the process of juicing, the dietary fiber and vitamins in apples will be destroyed, and four or five apples can squeeze a glass of juice, and the sugar content is higher. It can be seen that what you drink is not a cup of apple, but a large cup of sugar water, which not only has no nutrition, but also makes your blood sugar skyrocket.
Legend 3: Apple peel is the essence of apples, and you must eat them all.
There has been a huge controversy about whether apple peels should be eaten or not.
Positive view: Apple peel is nutritious and must be eaten.
The content of anthocyanins, polyphenols and flavonoids in apple peel is indeed higher than that of pulp, but the part of apple peel is too little, even if you eat them, it will not allow you to absorb much more nutrients.
