The benefits of eating apples (specifically red): They improve endothelial function, reduce inflammation and modulate the immune system in people too high cholesterol. They are the results of research carried out by several Catalan universities that have recently been published in the book scientific journal Food and Service.
Red-red apples are those that have the skin and flesh of a specific color, and belong to the Red Sun variety, derived from the commercial cultivation of red pulp “Redlove”. It is native to Switzerland and in Catalonia its cultivation is mainly in Mollerussa.
This red fruit stands out for its high content anthocyaninsa pigment from the family of flavonoids which they have been associated with benefit of health-property.
In this study presented to you, 121 people participated and were divided into three groups: one that ate red meat apples; the other is a white apple (which does not contain anthocyanins) and the third group an amalgamation of Aronia melanocarpawhich has an anthocyanin content equivalent to that of red fruits.
The inclusion of this third group allows us to verify whether the anthocyanins have different effects cardiovascular health of people depending on whether the anthocyanins are found in the apple or infusion.
After six weeks, the results showed that the red-red apples had improved ischemic reactive hyperemiaa parameter used to evaluate endothelial function and vascular health and is referred to as bleeding They dilate in response to increased blood flow.
Among the group of people who ate red apples, there was also a reduction in their levels of C-reactive protein and interleukin-6, parameters is associated with inflammation.
In addition, an improvement in the lipid profile and a decrease in the complement system proteins and immunoglobulins were observed. All these indicators have to do with a improving cardiovascular health and reducing chronic inflammationwhich can reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, inflammatory disorders, and other immune conditions.
The combination of Aronia rich with anthocyanins also reduces inflammation and improved lipid profile. However, the red-colored apple causes more inflammation, possibly due to the synergy of anthocyanins with other bioactive compounds in the apple.
Enhancement of nutrition with infusion of Aronia better the modulation of fat profile, which is believed to be related to a increased bioavailability of anthocyanins.
The study also found that white-fleshed apple and infusion of Aronia They help improve immune system responses. They do this by regulating the expression of proteins from the immune system and immunoglobulins, which are important components The body’s defense against infections.
The results of this study are important because they support the evidence of the beneficial effects of anthocyanins provided by the apple power on metabolic disorders and cardiovascular health,” according to the research team.
From the collected data, the interest in fresh red apple seeds is also enhanced as an interesting and interesting source of flavonoids with beneficial effects on health.
Flavonoids are natural chemical compounds found in plants that currently generate a lot of interest for them antioxidant properties and possible health benefits. They are natural pigments from vegetables that, through food, we add to our bodies.
Person We cannot make flavonoids, But we can add these things into our bodies with our food. But of course, the higher doses they need to notice their beneficial effects. They are found in vino he said beer, which is not good to abuse, and also vegetables like broccoli, onions, leeks or beets. And in fruits like cherries or grapes. Or among them green tea.
Many people accept them in the form of food additives or nutritional supplements.
In any case, welcome one more study that shows the relationship of flavonoids with improvements in our health. Of course, remember that the “very good” apples in the study were the red ones 😉
