The most consumed fruit in Italy
Today We at ProiezionidiBorsa, want to talk about a crunchy, juicy, sweet fruit, low in calories and which provides our body with many healthy properties. The tree it comes from is native to Central Asia and can reach 8 meters in height.
The apple, in all its varieties, is the most consumed fruit in Italy. A perfect food to eat at the end of a meal or as a snack because it is low in calories (approximately 50 per 100 grams), contains a lot of water and does not weigh you down.
The apple with its many vitamins, mineral salts and fibers is well tolerated even by those with diabetes.
Not a medicine but this very common fruit lowers cholesterol and regulates the intestine
The popular saying “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” is very famous. In fact, not a medicine but this very common fruit lowers cholesterol and regulates the intestine.
According to the Umberto Veronesi Foundation, thanks to the presence of pectin (a soluble fiber present in apples), this fruit would help to lower the levels of bad LDL cholesterol and, consequently, to fight cardiovascular diseases.
But not only that, thanks to the presence of fibers, apples have always been considered as a folk remedy to regulate the intestine. In fact they are very useful to stimulate the colon and to counteract diarrhea episodes.
In short, the apple is considered a real natural drug.
But how should this fruit be eaten
The best way to eat apples is to consume them raw and with the peel. In fact, most of the fibers and vitamins are present in the peel, which as we have explained above, are essential to regularize the intestine.
But we can also prepare an excellent dessert, such as a tart or an apple pie. Or simply bake them in the oven, covered with a little sugar and cinnamon. Still, apples are also excellent as a side dish, to accompany a second dish of meat.
