Many international nutrition experts believe that eating apples regularly can help support liver detoxification and naturally eliminate toxins in the digestive tract.
According to nutritionist Lisa Young, lecturer at the University of New York, USA, apples contain a lot of soluble fiber, especially pectin. This substance has the ability to bind to toxins in the gut, supporting excretion, thereby reducing the burden on the liver. She said that adding apples to the daily diet can help improve digestive function and support the body's natural detoxification process.
Meanwhile, nutritionist Michael Greger, author of How Not to Die: "How to avoid dying early", believes that apples are rich in antioxidants such as quercetin and flavonoids. These compounds help protect liver cells from damage caused by free radicals, while supporting a more effective detoxification process.
In addition, apples are rich in water and fiber, which help clean the digestive tract, reduce constipation and support the gut microbiome to function well. When the digestive system is healthy, the liver also works more effectively in eliminating toxins.
To maximize benefits, experts recommend eating 1-2 apples per day, prioritizing eating the whole peel after washing to maximize nutrients. Apples can be eaten directly, made into salads or juiced.
