Apple's advantages
Why do doctors hate apples most? Because apples have so many functions, if everyone develops the habit of an apple a day, where can hospitals still have business?
"An apple a day keeps the virus away from me" is true. Now, the medicinal efficacy of apples has been confirmed by researchers at Oxford University in England:
An apple a day is as protective as taking statins.
It is suggested that eating an apple every day over 50 years old can effectively protect the heart and clean blood vessels; What's even more surprising is that eating cooked apples can reduce blood fat and help reduce blood viscosity! (Friends with stable blood sugar control can consult a doctor and eat less than half according to the situation. )
1, Apple's "prescription": Take 2 tablets a day to avoid the risk of heart disease and stroke.
An article published in the British Medical Journal published the latest achievement of Oxford University researchers: an apple a day can prevent heart attacks, and the effect is equivalent to taking statins.
People who eat an apple every day will get an extra 12% guarantee if they eat a second apple. In other words, the more fruits and vegetables you eat, the lower your risk of dying of heart disease. Researchers say that giving an "apple prescription" to people over 50 every day will prevent or delay about 8,500 Britons from suffering from heart disease or stroke every year.

Barbara Kami, an organic food expert at USDA, said: The sources of "acid" and "sweet" in apples are also very beneficial. Although apples are highly acidic, they are not harmful. Its acid consists of 90% malic acid and 10% citric acid. The sweetness of fruit comes from sucrose and fructose, both of which are natural sugars and can be eaten by diabetics.

An apple is equivalent to a quarter of the fruits and vegetables needed every day, with zero fat and natural healthy blood vessels!
In addition, apples have the function of toothbrushes. Chewing them can clean teeth and kill oral bacteria!
5. Help to dissolve thrombus and reduce the possibility of myocardial infarction by 40%.
Eating apples can help "dissolve" the "culprit" of heart disease in blood vessels-blood clots.
Studies at the University of California, Davis show that eating two apples or drinking a glass of semi-pure apple juice every day can reduce the content of "bad cholesterol" in the blood and prevent arterial embolism. A study in Europe also shows that people who often eat apples are 40% less likely to suffer from myocardial infarction than those who don't eat apples.
