What are incredible health benefits of apple
Hi,Friends!
I am here with a new post this post is about Apple and apple benefits which are very impressive So I decided that me should do post on Apple benefits so we should consume apple on daily basis because apple is easily available and not much expensive.
Weight Loss:
: Researchers from the State University of Rio de Janeiro studying the impact of fruit intake on weight loss found that overweight women who ate the equivalent of three apples or pears a day lost more weight on a low-calorie diet than women who didn’t add fruit to their diet. Furthermore, researchers at Harvard University found a higher intake of foods rich in flavonols, flavan-3-ols , anthocyanins and flavonoids, all of which are found in apples, was associated with less weight gain among adults aged 27-65 and may contribute to the prevention of obesity and its potential
consequences.
Brain Health
A growing body of evidence from the University of Massachusetts-Lowell suggests that eating apples and drinking apple juice can be beneficial when it comes to improving brain health and diminishing symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease. In conjunction with a balanced diet, apple and apple juice consumption may protect against oxidative brain damage that can lead to memory loss. The brain health benefits were found when animalsconsumed the equivalent of 2-3 cups of apple juice or 2-4 whole apples per day. A clinical trial showed that drinking apple juice significantly improved mood and behavior among a group of patients diagnosed with moderate-tosevere
Alzheimer’s disease.
Cancer
A series of studies at Cornell University have evaluated the direct effects of apples on breast cancer prevention in animals. The more apples consumed, the greater the reduction in incidence or number of tumors among test animals. The apple consumption tested was equivalent to one to six apples a day for 24 weeks.A research team at Cornell University identified a group of phytochemicals that are more abundant in the peel and appear to kill or inhibit the growth of at least three different types of human cancer cells: colon, breast and liver.
Antioxidants
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) categorized three specific varieties of apples among the top 20 antioxidant sources. While the study highlighted three apple varieties in particular, all apples contain beneficial levels of antioxidants and have other healthful nutrition properties. Two thirds of an apple’s antioxidants are found in its peel.
Lung Health
Research from the UK reports that children of mothers who eat apples during pregnancy are much less likely to exhibit symptoms of asthma, including wheezing, at age 5. Among a variety of foods consumed and recorded by the pregnant women, apples were the only food found to have a positive association with a reduced risk of asthma. (Thorax, 2007, 62:745-746).Researchers from Australia report that study participants who ate apples and pears had the lowest risk of asthma. (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2003; 78: 414-21). A study from London’s King’s College and the University of Southampton reports that people who ate at least two apples per week had a 22-32 percent lower risk of developing asthma than people who ate fewer apples.
Heart Health
When rodents prone to obesity were given a higher fat diet, similar to a typical American’s diet, and fed a freeze dried powder made from whole apples, the result was a heart-health benefit that went beyond cholesterol reduction alone. The researchers suspect that it may be the phytochemicals in the whole apple that help reduce oxidative stress in the rodents and contribute to improved measures of blood pressure.
