Apple peel, increases fiber, reduces inflammation, supports hormones

According to Dr. Sohaib Imtiaz, a nutritionist in the UK, medical consultant at verywell Health, the new apple skin is where the strong antioxidant content helps reduce inflammation and protect cells. Apple peel contains propane that can support hormone balance, especially useful for postpartum women or people under stress.

In addition, the amount of soluble fiber in apple peel helps control appetite and nourish beneficial bacteria in the intestines. Families with young children or the elderly can keep the skin on when cooking oatmeal, making cakes or blending smoothies to increase fiber naturally.

Banana peels, support sleep, mood and are good for the heart

It may sound strange, but banana peels contain up to 40% of the recommended potassium intake per day, along with magnesium, zinc and calcium. The naturalryptophan and serotonin in banana peels help regulate mood and promote deeper sleep, says Dr Imtiaz.

Not only that, polyphenols in banana peels help maintain healthy cholesterol levels. For families with elderly people, banana peels can be boiled soft, dried to make tea or thinly pounded in stews, both strange and heart-healthy.

Lemon peel, good for teeth and rich in antioxidants

Lemon peel contains more antioxidants than meat and lemon juice. Some studies have shown that lemon peel extract has the ability to inhibit bacteria that cause tooth decay and gingivitis, making it great for families with young children or toothbroken people.

You can crush the lemon peel to mix with salad, cook sour soup or mix with honey mixed with warm water. Not only does it create a natural scent, the skin also aids digestion and increases resistance.

Orange peel, natural prebiotics to keep the intestines healthy

If constipation or bloating is common in the family, orange peel is a useful little tip. Orange peel contains prebiotics that feed beneficial bacteria, and pectin, a type of soluble fiber that helps stabilize bowel movements.

Dr. Imtiaz commented: "orange peel not only adds fiber but also retains a significant amount of water, helping the body maintain adequate hydration". You can dry the orange peel to make tea, fill it in a baking dish or use it as jam, both fragrant and good for the digestive system.
