The secret to longevity thanks to red apples

Phương Minh (theo Heathline) |

Many scientific studies have shown that regular consumption of red apples not only helps improve overall health but also contributes to longevity.

Antioxidant and cell protection

Red apples contain large amounts of antioxidant compounds, especially flavonoids, polyphenols, and vitamin C. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), antioxidant compounds help neutralize free radicals that damage cells, slow down the aging process, and prevent age-related diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, and cognitive decline.

Red apples have strong antioxidant properties, which help protect cells from damage and promote overall health.

Boost immune system

A strong immune system is the key to longevity and jujubes play an important role in boosting immunity.

Red apples contain polysaccharides that can activate immune cell activity, helping the body fight bacteria and viruses that cause disease. A study has shown that consuming red apples can stimulate the production of white blood cells, helping to strengthen the body's natural immunity.

Improve sleep and reduce stress

Sleep and mental health play an important role in maintaining longevity. Jujube has long been used in traditional medicine to help calm the mind and improve sleep.

Compounds found in jujubes, such as saponins and flavonoids, have a calming effect on the nerves and improve sleep quality. In addition, jujubes also help reduce stress, anxiety and depression, factors that can contribute to shortening life expectancy if left unchecked.

Improve heart health

A healthy heart is the foundation for a long life. Red apples contain a large amount of potassium, which helps regulate blood pressure and prevent the risk of cardiovascular disease. According to the American Heart Association (AHA), potassium plays an important role in maintaining stable blood pressure, thereby reducing the risk of stroke and heart disease.

Red apples are also rich in fiber, which helps reduce bad cholesterol, improve blood circulation and protect blood vessel walls from inflammation, a cause of atherosclerosis.

Supports digestive system and prevents cancer

Red apples are also known for their ability to improve the digestive system thanks to their high fiber content. Red apples help regulate bowel movements, prevent constipation, and aid in digestion. Furthermore, thanks to their polyphenol content, red apples have anti-inflammatory properties and can prevent the growth of cancer cells.

A study from the National Cancer Institute shows that polyphenols found in red apples help reduce the risk of certain types of cancer, especially colon and stomach cancer.
