In addition to traditional nutrients and dietary fiber, apples also contain flavonoids and polysaccharides, the latter of which are natural antioxidants. Compared with other fruits, apples have a higher content of mineral acid flavonoids and polysaccharides, which make them easier to be absorbed by the body. Eating more apples can improve memory and enhance intelligence. What are the benefits of eating an apple a day for women? Benefits of eating an apple a day for women 1. Eating more apples can prevent osteoporosis Apples contain the minerals boron and manganese, which can promote bone growth. A British study found that boron can significantly increase the concentration of estrogen and other compounds in the blood, and this substance can effectively prevent the outflow of high-quality protein. Medical experts believe that if menopausal women can consume 3 grams of boron every day, their high-quality protein turnover rate can be reduced by 46%. Menopausal women should eat more apples, which is beneficial to the digestion and absorption and utilization of calcium and the prevention of osteoporosis. 2. Eating an apple every day (preferably with the skin) can also prevent stroke Apples are beneficial to physical and mental health, and are also the guardian of women's reproductive health. It is best to eat apples with the skin, because compared with apple flesh, apple peel contains higher levels of flavonoids and polysaccharides, has stronger antioxidant properties, and can prevent stroke in middle-aged and elderly women. However, since a lot of fertilizers may be used in the apple planting process, if the apples are not carefully cleaned when eaten, the fertilizers remaining on the apple skin may cause sepsis and other diseases. Therefore, if the "naturalness" of the apples cannot be guaranteed, it is best to wash and peel the apples before eating. 3. The nutrients in apples and other green plant ingredients help fight cancer Obesity in women not only affects daily affairs, daily life and appearance, but also makes them very susceptible to cancer. A Japanese research team conducted a nine-year follow-up survey on 15,054 adult women and found that 668 of them had cancer. After applying statistical analysis, it was found that compared with women of normal weight, overweight or obese women have a 29%-47% higher risk of cancer; the higher the body mass index of women, the greater the risk of breast cancer, colorectal cancer, endometrial cancer and gallbladder cancer. Scientific research shows that being overweight or obese is a risk factor for cancer in women. So is there any way for women to lose weight and fight cancer at the same time? Indeed, there is a way, you can eat apples often. Spanish researchers investigated the diet of 629 cancer patients and found after in-depth analysis that, compared with eating less than one apple a day, eating more than one apple a day can reduce the risk of colorectal cancer, esophageal cancer, laryngeal cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer and other cancers by 9% - 42%. In addition to traditional nutrients and dietary fiber, apples also contain flavonoids and polysaccharides, the latter of which are natural antioxidants. Compared with other fruits, apples have a higher content of mineral acid flavonoids and polysaccharides, which make them easier to be absorbed by the body. This pure natural antioxidant can protect genetic information DNA (Dna) from damage by oxidative stress and has a strong anti-cancer effect. |
