Many people should have heard of the apple diet method, the three-day apple diet method, which is fast and effective for weight loss, simple and convenient to operate, and considered a good way to start losing weight. Apples are known as the “fruit of wisdom” and the “fruit of memory.” Eating an apple after breakfast in the morning can help with digestion. In addition to providing the body with necessary nutrients, apples also have a rich medicinal value and many dietary therapeutic effects. However, there are several types of apples that you must avoid eating, not even one. Let’s take a look at the types of apples you shouldn’t eat.
1. Wrinkled Apple Skin
After apples have been stored for a while, they lose moisture, causing the skin to wrinkle. Even if they are not rotten, their nutritional value will decrease, affecting the taste, so it’s best not to consume such apples.
2. Rotten Apples
While it’s good to be frugal and not waste things, eating the remaining parts of an apple after cutting off the rotten portion can have a significant impact on your health. Bacteria from the rotten part may have spread throughout the entire apple, so remember not to consume rotten apples.
3. Blackened Apple Core
Many apples may appear to be intact on the surface, but if the core turns black when cut open, it means the apple is starting to rot inside and the flesh has deteriorated. Eating such apples is detrimental to health. Nowadays, many apples are coated with preservatives for prolonged storage. These apples may look fine on the outside due to the preservation, but apples with black cores inside are best avoided.
Apples have a lot of nutritional value. Let’s take a look at some of their nutritional benefits.
1. “Apple Polyphenols”: Apples contain magical “apple polyphenols” that dissolve in water and are easily absorbed by the body. They have antioxidant properties, keep food fresh, inhibit melanin and enzyme production, eliminate odors, and are beneficial for health.
