Property of Apple
Healthy food-, at the end we will see a lot of apple fruit anywhere. Not only apples from Malang, but also found imports apple. Evidently, which is much more famous its property.
If the East (Eastern) has a durian fruit as superior, the Western society (Western) have apples. Western people often use apples as a paradigm for the fruit.
An estimated seven thousand have the type of apple fruit that grows in the world, but there only a few kinds on the market in Indonesia, such as apples Village, apple Australia, Manalagi apples, apple United States.
Shape, size, color, taste and texture of each of the various types of apples. But in terms of nutrition is not much different. There is a potassium / potasium and pectin in the apples, the fruit is very useful to prevent stroke, and reducing sugar and blood cholesterol. One thing is useful for people with diabetes and coronary heart.
Taste
Apple generally rounded shape, with a cavity in the base of bud. Apple flesh white, juicy and with restless taste sweet or sour. Pulp is protected by a thin crust that generally shiny. When the meat is slice out the flavour of fresh and fragrant. However, there are several varieties of apples, the flavour is very sharp.
Taste, flavour, texture and, in fact resulted from more than 230 chemical components. Including various acids such as acid acetate, the format and the 20 other types of acid. In addition there is the womb of alcohol ranged from 30 to 40 types, such as ethyl acetate ester as much 100 species, karbonil as formaldehid and asetaldehid, and more.
Potassium and stroke
Gynecology vitamin that is prominent on the apple potassium, especially in the apple red, and the pectin and cellulose. Potassium is a mineral that works to improve regularity heartbeat, the muscle contraction, manage delivery vitamin to cells, control the fluid balance in the network and the cell body, and to help manage blood pressure.
Research conducted by experts from the University of California at San Diego, United States, shows a portion of the fruit contains a lot of potassium in the day, able to reduce the risk of stroke affected (stroke) to 40%.
Research is applied as much to the 800 men and women aged 50 years and over, the age of high risk for stroke affected. In fact, consumption of a high concentration of potassium through food can reduce blood pressure, so the opportunity to decrease the occurrence of stroke.
Apples, especially the red, are in the womb have a high potassium potassium. Every 100 grams of red apple that can be eaten as much there is womb 203 mg potassium.
Is still lower when compared with the potassium in bananas (435 mg), avocado (278 mg), duku (232 mg) and papaya (221 mg). But still higher than in the womb of potassium Sawo manila (181 mg), orange (162 mg), star fruit (130 mg), pineapple (125 mg) and wine (111 mg). As a result, apple fruit is considered one of the potential decrease in risk of stroke.
Dietary Fiber
Apples contain a lot of fiber in the amount. Cellulose, the fiber is not soluble (in water) that is located on the skin of apples. Meanwhile, pectin is a type of soluble fiber found in the many apple fruit flesh.
Not soluble fiber, particularly cellulose than some hemiselulosa and lignin, can speed up the rest of the trip across the channel percerna food. While soluble fibers can cause the effect, slow ‘traffic’ remaining food.
Both forms of fiber is equally memunyai power cleanse. Both types of fiber can absorb water and create greater feces. So, do not wonder if people with constipation (difficult to defecate), consumption of whole apples with skins alias is recommended.
Cholesterol controller
Soluble fiber, pectin and gum that is, form a gel in the intestine. As a result, the time needed to move the remaining food from the mouth, anus so much longer. This makes the person concerned will feel satisfied longer. Therefore, for the current program through the streamline body, apples can be used as food energy exchanger, such as a fatty cake or sweet.
In addition, soluble fiber is able to bind various substances, including cholesterol, and reduce the channel’s obsobted in gut. This form of fiber can lower blood cholesterol levels.
Results of research show, apple pectin can reduce LDL cholesterol contents of 10%. LDL cholesterol is a cause of heart disease and stroke. In addition to lowering LDL, apple does not reduce cholesterol HDL cholesterol or ‘good’. So apple is able to reduce the risk of heart disease by up to 20%.
Soluble fiber also was able to slow the entry of glucose from carbohydrate digestion to blood flow. This is very useful to control your diabetes.
Fresh apples
To obtain the maximum benefit from the apple shape should be required. Fresh apples generally better than the processed into juice or syrup.
Research conducted by some experts indicate, the apple with the various forms of requirement on normal people, produce a different response to the concentration of blood sugar and insulin. While consumption of fresh, whole apples only slightly increase serum insulin, compared to apple pulp. Fiber structure in the apple pulp is damaged.
So, fresh apples, especially in people with diabetes, more beneficial compared to apple processing. Gynecology soluble fiber and high energy of a low, sweet and sour taste that makes apples varied selection of food suitable as a small addition to the dessert as well.
Feeling restless apples can help release the material in the dental sticky, such as sugar, as well as stimulate the saliva, so it is able to clean the teeth.
