Eating an apple a day is very beneficial to your health, and cider retains much of the original nutritional content of the apple. What does cider do?
1. Cleanses the intestinal tract Cider is a source of insoluble fiber. Insoluble fiber can be embedded in the intestinal tract and then used to cleanse the digestive tract, stimulating peristalsis and promoting food digestion. Therefore, cider is a powerful cleanser and is very important for the health of the body and intestines.
Cider regulates the stomach and intestines and has a dual effect on bowel movements and diarrhea. The cellulose in cider softens the stool in the colon. Cider is rich in organic acids, which stimulate gastrointestinal motility and promote smooth bowel movements. On the other hand, apples contain pectin, which can cause abnormal bowel movements and slow down digestive activity, leading to mild diarrhea.
3. Cider contains more potassium, which binds to excess sodium in the body and excretes it, lowering blood pressure. When the body consumes too much sodium, drinking some cider can help balance the electrolytes in the body.
In addition to the above effects, researchers have concluded through experiments that drinking apple cider can lower blood cholesterol levels and increase bile secretion and bile acid function, thus preventing cholesterol from precipitating in the bile and forming gallstones. Wash and squeeze the juice from an apple, 100ml each time, three times a day for 15 days, to reduce cholesterol levels.
