There is a popular saying in the United States: "If you eat an apple every meal, you don't need to hire a doctor.". This sentence sounds exaggerated, but it can also be seen that the effect of Apple is extraordinary. But when it comes to apples actually protecting the prostate, do you believe it?
"Apple therapy" is currently a commonly used method for treating chronic prostatitis at home and abroad, mainly using zinc in apples to improve zinc deficiency in patients with chronic prostatitis. According to the Times of India, a Swedish study has added a new reason for eating apples - to protect the prostate.
Apple Protects Prostate
The researchers randomly selected 78 people with chronic prostatitis as the study subjects, and conducted a comparative investigation by eating apples. The results showed that patients who insisted on eating apples had significantly better recovery effects than those who did not eat apples.
Through an experimental study abroad, it was found that prostate fluid contains a certain amount of antibacterial components. This antibacterial material is a zinc containing protein, the main component of which is zinc, and its antibacterial effect is similar to that of penicillin.
Zinc is an essential element for human growth and development. Once zinc is deficient, reproductive performance can also be impaired. In patients with chronic prostatitis, the zinc content in prostate fluid is significantly lower than that in normal individuals. In theory, zinc deficiency can be achieved by directly supplementing zinc. Why do we have to eat apples? This is because zinc supplementation through eating apples has no side effects, and is safe, easy to digest, absorb, and acceptable to patients. Eating an apple every day can protect the prostate gland.
Apple can also improve sexual ability
Some experts also emphasized that when men lack zinc, their accessory organs change significantly, and the quality of sperm also decreases. The prostate gland is the source of seminal plasma zinc, which ensures sperm capacitation and enhances sperm motility. Therefore, eating apples appropriately can also effectively improve men's sexual ability.
Apples reduce cancer risk
If you think that apples have only these benefits, you're wrong. Research shows that apples can also reduce the risk of developing colon, prostate, and lung cancer. Experiments in rats have shown that the concentrate of apple juice can increase the secretion of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Other experiments have also found that after taking rat apple juice, "it can slow down oxidative damage and cognitive decline.". The lifespan of fruit flies fed apple extracts is 10% longer than that of fruit flies fed normal food.
Apple is one of the most common fruits in our daily life, and its price is affordable. However, its efficacy is much better than those of imported health products. Men insist on eating an apple every day, and over time they will see changes in their bodies.
