"Eating too many apples can cause discomfort for the digestive system."
Medianews.az reports that this was said by dietitian Lauren Manaker.
She stated that this is a higher risk especially for people who have sensitive stomachs or irritable bowel syndrome. Apples are high in fiber and sugar content, therefore consuming them in large amounts can cause digestive problems even in healthy people.
Manaker emphasized that apples should always be washed under running water, because pesticides can enter the body through unwashed apples.
At the same time, the dietitian noted that one apple a day is beneficial for the body, since this fruit is rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber. "The habit of eating one apple a day can be beneficial for people who do not consume enough fruits and vegetables," Manaker added.
