Apples are rich in nutrients, such as dietary fiber pectin, sugar, vitamins and minerals, which are very beneficial to health. Pectin dietary fiber, for example, can not only moisten the intestines and relax the bowels, but also help to lower blood sugar, reduce blood fat and clean up garbage toxins in the body. The sugar in apples is mainly fructose. The sweetness of fructose is 1.7 times that of sucrose and more than 3 times that of glucose, but the glycemic index of fructose is low, which is suitable for diabetics to eat in moderation. Sugar can also provide energy and keep people full of energy. Vitamins and minerals can maintain body functions. For example, a small amount of vitamin C can enhance immunity, and minerals can improve the acidity and alkalinity of the internal environment.
