I'm not vegan, but I mainly eat plant-based. I sometimes eat fish when I feel like it.

Last year I was always tired so I booked a visit with a nutritionist. My doctor gave me an iron pill. He said I was anemic.

My nutritionist did all the necessary checks and prescribed "3 apples a day". An apple before every meal. The journey has begun

I went to the market and bought a bag of apples. I'm not a big fan of apples. I usually eat mango, banana and passion fruit. My nutritionist, doctor. Bryson said he should make smoothies and continue to eat other fruits, but in addition to his regular diet, he should eat three apples a day.

There was no change on the first day. Same the next day. On the third day, my stomach looked flat. I got better, and what do you know? My productivity has gone beyond the roof!

I went online to investigate something about apples, and this is what I found:

Apples raise your energy level

Instead of drinking coffee, try apples first thing in the morning. According to the Foundation of the International Food Information Council, apples do not contain fructose, but they provide a direct source of energy for the body. You don't feel the rapid explosion of energy that coffee provides. However, instead, you will feel a stable and slow release of energy.

Apples are an excellent source of dietary fiber and can aid in defecation and digestion. They are also good sources of vitamins A, C and potassium. Small apples contain about 95 mg of potassium, while large apples contain almost twice as much potassium. This is about 2% of the recommended daily dose for adults.

Potassium regulates blood and helps regulate blood pressure when eating potassium-rich foods such as apples. This is because potassium helps offset some of the effects of sodium in the body. Sodium can raise blood pressure, but potassium helps offset it. According to today's medical news, eating foods high in potassium can reduce the symptoms of stress and anxiety.

In the first month of Apple's experiment, I noticed that overall anxiety was greatly reduced. I felt less anxious and relaxed all day long. Seven health benefits of apples from TheFoodie YouTube channel

Healthy intestines

Apple fiber can also nourish friendly bacteria in the intestines. This is important for a healthy digestive system. Apples contain pectin, a type of soluble fiber that acts as a prebiotic. Prebiotics help feed the good bacteria in the gut, which are important for a healthy immune system.

According to a Rev Environ Health study, eating apples was associated with a reduced risk of colon cancer.

Improves brain health

Eating apples is associated with a lower risk of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. This may be due to the fact that apples contain flavonoids such as quercetin, which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

In a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, researchers say people who eat large amounts of flavonoid-rich foods such as berries, apples, and tea are less likely to develop Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. I am.

Weight loss

After the 3rd day, my stomach was less full and looked flatter than usual. Why?

Apples are an excellent source of dietary fiber and help keep you feeling full and satisfied all day long. In addition, apples contain water and nutrients that help boost metabolism and promote weight loss. In addition, apples are low in calories and fat, making them an ideal snack for anyone trying to lose weight. In one study, women ate apples, pears, or oatmeal cookies. These foods contain the same amount of fiber and calories. After 12 weeks, the group that ate more fruit lost 2.7 pounds, while the group that ate oatcake showed no significant weight loss.
