With the beginning of autumn, the apple season begins. The fruit is called almost the food of long-livers, and everyone knows that those who eat one apple every day get sick the least.
Despite all the apparent benefits and simplicity, you need to know some rules and follow them when choosing apples.
Nutritionist, Deputy Chief Physician for Development, Quality and Digital Medicine at the KFU University Clinic Ivan Kiyasov told us how to choose apples and how to eat them correctly.
Apple variety
The expert urges people to pay attention to the varietal differences and color of apples.
Red apples contain more anthocyanins, yellow apples contain more chlorophyll, and green apples increase acidity.
Apples of different varieties have similar beneficial properties.
How much is there?
The average recommendation is one apple a day. But it is important to consider how you feel after eating.
Two important rules
1. It is important to eat the whole apple, not the juice or smoothie, because the whole apple will provide the body not only with nutrients, but also with fiber.
2. You need to buy seasonal varieties that grow locally.
All imported apples are subject to chemical treatment, ripen along the way, and it is not always possible to wash them after treatment.
Such apples can cause intestinal irritation.
Contraindications
There are skin conditions for which it is recommended to limit the consumption of red apples.
Green apples should be consumed with caution by those with chronic stomach and duodenal ailments.
