What you should know about.
Apples are known as a tasty, useful and nutritious product, informs Ukr.Media.
However, many people make common mistakes when eating apples that reduce their benefits.
Pesticides
Most trees are processed during fruit ripening, and apple trees are no exception.
For example, pesticides can be dangerous for the body.
To reduce the risks, it is recommended to thoroughly wash the apples under running water, using a special brush for fruits and solutions.
Excessive use
Eating large amounts of apples can cause digestive problems.
To avoid these troubles, you need to eat no more than 2 medium apples per day.
The danger of seeds
Apple pits contain a compound capable of releasing cyanide.
Although eating a small amount of bones will not harm the body, it is better not to do this.
Apple peel
Apple skin contains nutritious fiber, vitamins and antioxidants.
Removing the skin leads to the loss of some of the beneficial properties important for the heart and intestines.
Damaged apples
Eating poorly stored apples can be dangerous to health.
Always set aside fruit that shows signs of rotting.
