"An apple a day keeps the doctor away." According to the daily express, a new Canadian study published in the British Journal of food chemistry found that apple skin has better effect on regulating fat and reducing blood pressure Researchers from Nova Scotia College of agriculture in Canada tested apple skin and apple meat respectively The results showed that Apple has better lipid regulation and blood pressure reduction effect than "super food" such as green tea and blueberry, which is mainly due to a variety of antioxidants and flavonoids compounds In addition, apple peel can inhibit ACE (an enzyme that causes hypertension) and reduce hypertension six times more effectively than apple flesh Rutin, a flavonoid in apple skin, is one of the most effective natural antithrombotic substances Eating apple skin can also help prevent fatal thrombosis and reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke Therefore, it is a waste to discard the apple peel.
