In the experiment, researchers found that women who ate 75 grams of dried apples (preserved apples) every day for half a year could reduce the level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (bad cholesterol) in atherosclerosis by as much as1/4; Levels of some compounds associated with heart disease and stroke have decreased; However, the level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (good cholesterol), which has a protective effect on the heart, has increased by 4%. In addition, even if they consume 240 calories from these fruits every day, these women lose an average of 3 pounds (1 pound ≈0.45 kg).
A few days ago, at the experimental biology conference held in Washington, D.C., Dr. Wahlan, a researcher from Florida State University, said that he never thought that apples could reduce LDL cholesterol so much. The result surprised him. He stressed: "Apple can bring benefits to everyone." Scientists use this information to actively create "super healthy" apples, which are expected to be put on supermarket shelves within four to five years. These planted apples are nutritious and powerful, which can not only protect eyes and joints, prevent and treat heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's disease and diabetes, but also greatly reduce appetite and help to lose weight.
