Apples Do Not Allow The Accumulation Of Fat Deposits

Just a few grams of dried apples can reduce the level of bad cholesterol in the body and improve the level of good.

One apple a day may be enough to increase the levels of good and reduce the levels of bad cholesterol in women, according to a new study.

Women who consume about 75 grams of dried apples a day for 6 months can reduce bad cholesterol by up to 23% and increase good cholesterol by up to 6%, said study leader Bahram Z. Ajemandi, a professor at Florida State University.

Prof. Aejmandi and his colleagues subjected 160 women aged 45-65 to randomized clinical trials to monitor the effect of the fetus on their health. The volunteers are divided into two groups. The first group consumes 75 grams of dried apples every day for a year, the second group - other types of dried fruit for the same period of time.

Three months after the start of the study, the volunteers underwent blood tests, which were repeated on the sixth and twelfth month of the study.

The results show that women who eat apples have lower levels of bad cholesterol and C-reactive protein, an indicator of inflammation in the body. Lipid hydroperoxides, which are the product of toxic free radicals that cause cell damage and death, are also lower than at the beginning of the study, the research team said.

Although volunteers in the study used dried apples, the effect is likely to be the same as fresh apples, said Kerry Hans, a nutritionist and spokesman for the American Dietetic Association.

Scientists believe that the benefit of apples in regulating cholesterol is mainly due to the high content of fiber, which limits the release of insulin and fat storage in the body.
