Fruits and berries are a person’s health and longevity.
Apples contain a number of biologically active substances that have great therapeutic value in hypertension, gastrointestinal diseases, and have anti-radiation properties.
Apple pectin
Pectins bind bacterial toxins, reducing the risk of food poisoning. They actively bind salts of heavy metals entering the digestive tract: mercury, lead, and even radioactive cobalt, strontium, which is a good protection against poisoning and radiation damage from isotopes.
Apple pectin also dramatically reduces the activity of bacteria. It is no coincidence that grated apples help cure colitis, dysentery, and even cholera and typhoid fever.
Plant antibiotics - phytoncides - act without complications, unlike antibiotics obtained with the help of microscopic fungi or synthetically.
Of course, the action of plant antibacterial substances is weaker than pharmaceutical antibiotics, but their main advantage is that they are completely harmless to the body, and with daily consumption of apples or other fruits we get the opportunity to prevent disease.
Folic acid, contained in apples, improves the formation and renewal of blood.
One or two apples contain such a quantity of vitamin P and P-active substances that, in combination with a small quantity of vitamin C, significantly replenishes the daily requirement and, thus, is able to prevent disruption of the circulatory system and prevent sclerotic diseases.
Apples also contain some microelements: iron, manganese. However, their quantity is not as great as previously thought; one 100-gram apple contains approximately 3% of the daily requirement. But apples contain a lot of potassium, which is so lacking in heart patients.
Apples contain active compounds that prolong human life. Take, for example, organic acids - malic and citric. Their actions are simple: they acidify food, creating an unfavorable environment for bacteria and thereby reducing the likelihood of disease.
Apples with antimicrobial action. They contain such microelements as iron, manganese, copper, iodine.
The tender pulp and juice of apples contain up to 10% fructose, 5-6% glucose, but only 2-5% sucrose.
Along with sugars, apple juice contains up to 0.7% acids: malic and citric. Citric acid gives the apple a sour, refreshing taste. Malic acid does not have such a sour taste - it is rather bitter.
It is not sugars but acids that play a therapeutic role in apples. They regulate acidity in the stomach, stimulate the activity of the liver and pancreas. So sour apples are obviously healthier than sweet ones. Especially for people suffering from diabetes.
The value of apples
The value of apples is not only in the fact that they are sour. Eating one or two apples daily can completely cover the daily requirement for vitamin P and 10-15% for vitamin C.
Apples also contain a little vitamin K, a phytoquinone, the deficiency of which doctors associate with hemorrhages in the skin, the walls of the gastrointestinal tract, and liver disease.
There is evidence that apples contain chrologenic acid, which is useful for strengthening the walls of small blood vessels and acts as a choleretic agent.
The high content of pectin, which, as already mentioned, prevents the accumulation of radioactive metals in the body, puts the apple in the category of the most essential food products for every day.
