【The therapeutic effect of apples on slimming】

**Q1／Can eating apples help me lose weight?

A fist-sized apple contains about 60 calories. Apples are rich in pectin, which expands when it comes into contact with water. Eat an apple half an hour before a meal and then drink 500cc of water. The pectin expands in the stomach and creates a feeling of fullness, which can reduce the amount of food you eat. However, if you only eat apples and not eat other foods to lose weight, most of the weight you lose is water, which can easily lead to nutritional imbalance, decreased immunity and memory, and loss of nutrients such as minerals in the body.

Q2/Why can apples relieve diarrhea and relieve constipation?

The tannic acid and organic acids contained in apples have astringent effects. For people with simple mild diarrhea, eating apples in moderation has excellent antidiarrheal effects, but it cannot treat diarrhea caused by inflammation or bacteria. On the other hand, the dietary fiber in apples can stimulate intestinal peristalsis, making the stool soft and easy to excrete, thereby preventing constipation.

Q3／Can eating apples lower cholesterol?

Apples are high in pectin, which can reduce the liver's production of bad cholesterol, lower blood fat, and help eliminate cholesterol in the intestines. They also contain insoluble dietary fiber, which can absorb fat and other substances in the intestines and excrete them out of the body with feces. It also inhibits the absorption of cholesterol and fat, thereby lowering blood fat and cholesterol.

According to research, apples can effectively reduce the level of bad cholesterol in the body, eliminate cholesterol through the intestines, thereby purifying the blood and preventing cardiovascular diseases such as high blood pressure.

【Nutritionist’s Tips】
