Apples are one of nutrient-rich fruit including polyphenol among others.
These nutrients are believed to offer anti-aging benefits.
Why not eat apples to age gracefully and healthily!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is anti-aging?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Anti-aging means the practices to slow the effects of the aging process and to live independently without receiving any special care. It contributes to an extended lifespan to age gracefully and healthily both physically and mentally. It is said that the three \u201canti\u201d factors\u2014antioxidant, anti-glycation, and anti-inflammatory are crucial for anti-aging.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nutritional components in apples show the effects of antioxidant and anti-glycation. That is why the anti-aging benefits are expected.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Glycation means the accumulation of AGEs, Advanced Glycation End Products, which are formed when the excess sugars in the body react with proteins. The accumulation of AGEs promotes aging. Glycation occurs when blood sugar level goes up rapidly or high blood sugar persists. In order to prevent glycation in the body, the possible solution is to lower the blood sugar level, which is crucial to anti-aging.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Due to the sweetness, people may think apples let blood glucose spike.<\/strong><\/span> However, apples contain the food fiber called \u201cpectin\u201d which slows the rises in blood sugar levels. Also \u201cphlorizin\u201d, an apple polyphenol, has the function of excreting excess sugar in the body through urine. This is the reason to believe that glycation will not occur when eating an apple.<\/strong><\/span> The target amount to consume any fruit a day is 200 grams, which is about one apple. Try to eat one apple regularly throughout the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are various research reports regarding apples and blood sugar levels as well.
The research done by University of Delaware, USA, shows the relationship between blood glucose levels and satiety following carbohydrate intake. The more you eat apples, the smaller the rise of postprandial blood sugar levels. And the satiety tends to last longer.<\/strong><\/span> Also, people who regularly exercise and often eat apples found to be the group of the smallest postprandial blood glucose rise.*<\/p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
