The fever of dried red apples has not stopped when advertising websites and livestream sessions are always sold out. Is it true that red apples are good for health?

Fight to buy red apples

A TikToker's livestream was advertised as selling out 50 tons of red apples. Thanks to videos about the origin of red apples, many people started to know about the product and went to the channel to buy. The first record was selling out 2 tons of red apples in less than a minute of livestream, then 30 tons in a few minutes, and most recently 50 tons in a flash.

It is not known whether the sale of tons of red apples is true or not, but afterwards, on social networking platforms, red apple products were continuously advertised as a miracle drug.

Red apples have long been a familiar medicine in traditional medicine, favored and widely used by many people. However, according to many recommendations, not everyone can use red apples, so you need to pay attention and consult your doctor before using.

Emergency because of using red apples

Viet Duc Friendship Hospital (Hanoi) once received a case of a female patient admitted to the hospital with abdominal pain and fever. Through investigation, the patient had no special medical history. Five days before being admitted to the hospital, the patient had stewed red apples with bird's nest to eat. However, she ate the whole fruit without taking out the seeds.

Quang Ninh Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital (Quang Ninh province) has also successfully treated a 22-month-old patient with intestinal perforation and septic shock due to swallowing red apple seeds. Currently on the market, there is a type of red apple that is very popular with people, but it is very dangerous if the seeds are swallowed because they have sharp edges.

Red apples are nutritious but must be used properly

Red apple trees are most commonly grown in some provinces in China such as Xinjiang, Henan, Hebei, Shandong, Fujian, Sichuan, Yunnan, etc. In addition, Korea and Japan are also two countries with quite large areas of red apple trees. Many years ago, jujubes were also transplanted to Vietnam but very few areas have suitable climates.

According to physician Vu Quoc Trung - Hanoi Oriental Medicine Association, red apples are sweet and neutral; they are classified into the liver, spleen, stomach, kidney, heart, and lung meridians. The benefits of red apples include enriching the blood, nourishing the blood, calming the nerves, nourishing the spleen and stomach, and benefiting the heart and lungs...

Many studies have shown that this fruit contains a lot of water, protein, vitamin C and organic acids such as potassium, sodium, Ca, Mg, Fe, ... In particular, the vitamin C content in this fruit is much higher than other fruits. In addition, it also contains vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin PP, mineral salts, colorants, organic acids, aromatic substances, tannins, ... In particular, the iron content in 100 grams of dried apples is estimated to be up to 1.7 mg.

According to physician Vu Quoc Trung, although red apples have many benefits, you should also note that when eating red apples, this fruit is quite sweet. If you eat too much, it can lead to unwanted weight gain. Every day, a healthy person should only eat about 5 fresh red apples and 3 dried red apples.

Jujubes may interact with antidepressants, so people who are taking these medications should not eat jujubes. People who are taking anticonvulsants such as phenytoin, phenobarbital, and carbamazepine should consult their doctor before eating jujubes. Because the substances in jujubes can enhance the effects of these medications.

People with diabetes should not eat red apples regularly, especially dried ones, because red apples can increase blood sugar after eating.

People with bloating, flatulence, nosebleeds, toothache, acne, and rashes should not eat red apples.
