Red apples bring many health benefits, but there are also some taboos when eating this fruit, warned by nutritionists and health experts.
The World Health Organization (WHO) says that red apples contain a lot of vitamin C, antioxidants and important minerals, which are good for boosting immunity, improving the digestive system and supporting cardiovascular health. However, not everyone should eat red apples and improper use can cause negative effects.
First, people with digestive problems, especially those with stomach problems or indigestion, should be careful when eating red apples. According to research by the American Institute of Nutrition, red apples have high sugar and fiber content, which can easily cause bloating and flatulence, especially when eaten in excess or at night. This can increase the risk of indigestion or make stomach conditions worse.
Second, people with diabetes should limit their consumption of red apples. According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), although red apples are nutritious, they have a high glycemic index. Excessive consumption can cause blood sugar to rise rapidly, which is not good for people with blood sugar-related diseases.
Pregnant women should also be careful when eating red apples. Some studies from the Maternal and Child Health Research Organization have shown that eating too many red apples can increase the risk of developing gestational diabetes due to the high sugar content in the fruit. Therefore, pregnant women should eat red apples in a balanced way and under the guidance of a doctor.
Red apples should not be eaten while taking certain medications. Red apples can interact with certain medications, reducing the effectiveness of treatment or increasing the risk of side effects. WHO recommends consulting a doctor before adding this fruit to your diet if you are taking medication.
