When apples are consumed regularly, they have a positive effect in many areas from the digestive system to the immune system.
Medianews.az reports that according to experts, the majority of the fruit's main beneficial substances are concentrated in the peel.
Since apples are rich in fibers, they regulate intestinal activity, improve digestion, and help prevent problems such as constipation. The pectin substance in them acts as a prebiotic.
At the same time, apples support the reduction of "bad cholesterol" (LDL) levels, protect vascular health, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Powerful antioxidants – flavonoids and carotenoids – protect the body from oxidative stress and strengthen the immune system.
Experts particularly warn that apple peels should not be peeled because the quercetin substance located there helps reduce inflammation and protect cells.
