5 things to pay attention to when eating apples to avoid harm to the body
Although apples are very good for the body, there are times when you should and should not eat apples so as not to affect your health.
1. Eat an apple in the morning
You can eat Apple at any time of the day, but morning time is best. Because after a night of rest, blood sugar levels drop, while apples are rich in carbohydrates, helping to quickly replenish energy.
If you eat apples at this time, the body will fully absorb the nutrients.
2. Eat apple before main meal
Apples contain many nutrients and these substances are easily soluble in water, quickly absorbed by the digestive system, and have the effect of enhancing intestinal metabolism.
Apples are also rich in pectin and fiber, eating apples on an empty stomach gives you a feeling of fullness, thereby controlling the amount of food you eat too much, especially in the evening.
Eating apples before a meal will help reduce calories and play a role in weight control.
If we eat apples after a meal, not only will the nutrients not be fully absorbed by the human body, but also wasteful, increasing the burden on the stomach.
3. Do not eat apples at night before going to bed
Because blood sugar levels are relatively high at night, eating apples before bed will increase blood sugar, affecting insulin secretion in the body.
In particular, if you are an elderly person, you should avoid eating apples in the evening because it can cause phenomena such as indigestion and insomnia. The stomach of the elderly is inherently weak, eating foods with high organic acid content such as apples in the evening will create a burden on the stomach.
When the stomach is too active during sleep, it can cause insomnia in the elderly.
4. Eat apples without peeling
Many people wonder whether to peel apples when eating or not. In fact, apple skin contains more antioxidants and insoluble fiber, so it is very beneficial for the body.
If you are worried about unsanitary or pesticide residue, you can rub the surface with salt or toothpaste for 1 minute, this will help remove harmful substances.
5. Rotten apples should not be eaten
When apples are damaged, rotten even a small part should not be eaten. Because at this time, harmful substances such as bacteria have entered the whole apple, we cannot see it with the naked eye.
To avoid harming the body, it is best not to eat this apple.
