Apples and strawberries prolong life.
How the aging process happens
One of the key factors in the aging process is a phenomenon called 'cellular deterioration. This implies the loss of the ability of cells to divide, form and develop. According to the data, at this stage, the cells signal inflammation and push the immune system to self-cleanse the damaged cells. At an early age, it is easier for the body to eliminate these cells but over the years, the immune system loses its luster. This promotes the accumulation of damaged cells. The latter constitute the starting point for low-grade inflammation leading to tissue breakdown.
Life-longening substance
A study by the Medical University of Minnesota found that the aging process can be prevented thanks to some molecules that target and destroy aging cells. These molecules have a long-term impact regardless of the time they enter the human body. The most efficient clustering of these molecules was found in apples, strawberries, onions, and cucumbers. This grouping of molecules is known as fistine.
During clinical trials, scientists found that these molecules significantly reduced the level of damaged cells, improved health and increased longevity. Significant molecules are found more in apples which, according to the study, should be consumed daily. Apples are also rich in antioxidants, flavonoids, and fiber. Antioxidants in apples reduce the risk of developing tumors.
Moreover, apples help against high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease. Eating an apple a day helps immensely against problems with digestion and constipation. In terms of calories, apple is better than bananas and keeps you full for longer.
