------------------------------------------
In addition, apples have various health benefits. The flavonoids and pectin components in apples help with cancer prevention and dieting. When pregnant women eat apples, they can also prevent fetal asthma. Moreover, apple cider vinegar made from apples also offers several health advantages.
Consuming apple cider vinegar has the effect of making the body healthy and alkaline. It also aids digestion, helps maintain body weight, and protects the skin. Based on information from American health and medical media outlets 'Health' and 'Prevention,' we explored the health benefits of apples and apple cider vinegar.
Benefits of apples
Relief from constipation = When stool remains in the large intestine for a long time, water is absorbed, making the stool harder and smaller, which worsens constipation. Laxatives can lead to dependence, so it is better to promote bowel movements through physical activity or by inducing defecation with food rather than using laxatives.
The pectin component of apples is a type of dietary fiber. Dietary fiber absorbs fats that increase when eating meat and helps eliminate them from the body through stool. Eating apples before breakfast when intestinal movement is active is effective not only for severe constipation but also for diarrhea. The pectin component is more abundant in the skin.
Prevention of breast and colon cancer = The dietary fiber pectin found in apples increases beneficial fatty acids that prevent colon cancer, and the polyphenol components abundant in red apples help produce anti-cancer substances in the intestines while remaining in the colon. Additionally, apples also help prevent breast cancer.
A research team at Cornell University in the United States divided experimental mice injected with carcinogens that cause breast cancer into two groups: one group was fed apple extract, and the other was not. As a result, 81% of the mice that did not consume apple extract developed fatal breast cancer called adenocarcinoma, but the incidence of adenocarcinoma was significantly lower in the mice that ate apple extract.
The research team explained, "We found that phytochemicals, including phenolic compounds or flavonoids found in fruits and vegetables, including apples, have antioxidant properties and inhibit tumor proliferation."
Prevention of fetal asthma = Eating a lot of fruit during pregnancy reduces the likelihood of the baby developing asthma after birth. A research team from the University of Aberdeen in the UK surveyed the eating habits and health status of 2,000 women with children aged five or older.
As a result, children of women who eat 4 to 5 apples a week had about a 50% lower prevalence of asthma compared to children of women who eat one or fewer apples a week. The research team stated, "Apples are also known to be good for adult lung health," and added, "Perhaps the antioxidant properties of apples, which eliminate harmful oxygen that negatively affects the human body, are responsible for their disease prevention effects."
Creating clear skin = Apples contain a high amount of polyphenols, which prevent aging and help create white, clear skin. A research team from the UK Food Research Institute analyzed fruits such as apples, peaches, and nectarines, which cannot have their polyphenol components separately extracted. They found that these fruits contain up to five times more polyphenols than grapes, which are known for their extractable polyphenol content.
Polyphenols are substances found abundantly in plants, with proanthocyanidins and ellagic acid in grapes, and catechins in green tea being representative polyphenol compounds. These compounds inhibit oxidation, and they have functions such as anticancer, whitening, and anti-aging effects. They also prevent cholesterol from being absorbed into the digestive tract, helping to lower blood cholesterol levels.
Diet = Chewing and eating an apple 15 minutes before a meal helps with weight loss. Usually, eating fruit as a dessert can give a sense of fullness, leading to eating less rice. A research team from Pennsylvania State University in the United States studied how the form in which apples are eaten affects satiety and energy intake.
The research team divided 58 participants into three groups: one that chewed and ate an apple before meals for five weeks, one that consumed apple sauce, and one that drank apple juice. They observed changes in satiety, appetite, and body weight. As a result, the group that chewed and ate the apple showed approximately a 15% reduction in calorie intake. There were no significant changes observed in the group that drank apple juice.
Benefits of apple cider vinegar
Detoxification effect = Potassium, which is abundant in vinegar, acts as a tonic that cleanses the human body, helping to treat sinusitis, candidiasis, laryngitis, and allergies.
Aid digestion and prevent food poisoning = The malic acid in vinegar treats common digestive issues such as constipation and acid reflux. Since it also has antibacterial and antiviral properties, adding 1-2 tablespoons (15-30cc) to a glass of water (240cc) and drinking it is effective against food poisoning.
Reducing cholesterol levels = Pectin, which is high in content, has been shown in mouse experiments to help regulate blood sugar and lower cholesterol.
Strengthen bones and teeth = Apple cider vinegar helps extract calcium from fruits, vegetables, and meats we eat, thereby promoting healthy bones and teeth.
Relief of joint pain = Contains antioxidant and anti-inflammatory ingredients that reduce joint pain, including arthritis, as well as pain in the neck, back, and shoulders.
Weight loss effect = Apple cider vinegar helps maintain a feeling of fullness for a longer period, and some natural health experts say that enzymes and fiber aid in fat metabolism. In mouse experiments, there are research findings that acetic acid, a main component of vinegar, delays fat accumulation.
Basic skincare products contain antibacterial and anti-inflammatory ingredients, so using them as a toner helps treat skin acne and scars. Mixing a cup of it into your bath after sunburn or adding a few drops when washing your hair enhances shine.
Effect of insect bite relief = A disinfectant that soothes the skin and immediately treats allergies when bitten by an insect.

프카쟁이인프리님 요즘도 계속 병원에 가셔야 하는거예요? 힘드시겠어요~~ 저도 사과 맛있게 먹어보려구 땅콩버터 샀어요~ ^^
하루=즐겁게+행복하게+웃으며✌사과 너무 좋죠. 저도 요즘 땅콩버터하고 사과 아침에 열심히 챙기네요 어제 마트가보니, 사과 아주쬐금 가격도 내린것 같아요
인프리사과가 가격이 좀 내렸다니 다행이네요~ 순수 땅콩만 갈아낸 버터가 좋다고 하더라구요. 회사 동생이 서울 팝업스토어에서 첨가물 없이 땅콩만 갈아낸 버터 가져와서 맛본적 있는데 정말 너무 고소하고 맛있었어요.
다우니향기사과식초가 치아에 좋군요.. 사과식초 먹으면 치아가 약해진다고 해서 물로 헹궈주라던데.. 뭐가 맞는걸까요??
- 인프리
사과식초를 희석해서 먹으면 괜찮데요. 희석하지 않고 직접 먹을 때 애나멜이 부식되어 치아가 약해진다고 들었어요. 사과식초를 섭취하면 칼슘이 빠져나가는 것을 도우니 뼈 건강, 그러니 치아 건강에도 좋은거구요~ 희석해서 먹고, 물로 한번 헹궈주면~ 치아 부식도 막고, 칼슘을 빠져나가는 것도 막아 치아 건강에도 좋아지는거~~ 아닐까요? ^^

오 그렇군요 안그래도 이번에 애사비 사서 물에 희석해서 먹고 있거든요 ^^ 근데 애사비를 그냥 마시면 치아에 안좋다고 해서 빨대로 먹고있어요 ㅎㅎ 그리고 바로 헹궈주고요 ㅎㅎ 바로바로 물로 헹궈주고 열심히 먹어야겠군요 ~

사과가 좋다는건 알고 있었지만, 이렇게 자세히 효능을 보니 아침에 먹는 사과는 금사과라는 말이 괜히 나온게 아닌거 같아요~
원희사과가 뽀얀 피부를 만드는데도 좋군요 목욕할때나 머리 감을때 사과 식초 좀 써야겠네요
- 인프리
사과식초가 효능이 많아서, 저도 애사비도 챙겨 먹고 집에서도 잘 사용해봐야겠어요.
거친 찔레꽃사과식초가 벌레 물린데도 소독제 역활 을 하는가봐요 머리 감을때 세수 할때도 물에 희석해 써봐야 겠어요 사과식초 정보 잘보고갑니다
