    Original title: A new british study shows that two apples a day, cholesterol control
    as the saying goes: "One apple a day, the doctor away from me." "Eating apples often not only supplements nutrients such as vitamins and inororable salts, but also promotes digestion, reduces constipation, maintains acid-base balance in the body, lowers blood pressure, stabilizes blood sugar, beauty and other functions. A new study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition at the University of Reading in the United Kingdom also found that eating apples regularly lowers "bad" cholesterol and is good for cardiovascular health.
    study included 40 subjects with mild hypercholestericemia (23 women and 17 men) with an average age of 51 and an average BDI of 25.3 (overweight). Subjects underwent a two-week dietary adjustment period before the trial officially began, mainly to stop eating probiotics, probiotics, and any foods containing apples. After the trial began, they were randomly divided into two groups, one eating two apples a day (a net weight of 340 grams), and one group eating a controlled drink with a sugar energy match for eight weeks. The difference between the two diets was that apples had higher levels of polyphenols and dietary fiber. After a four-week interval (to avoid residual effects of the previous diet), the two groups adjusted the diet. During the trial, the subjects were also asked to record their daily diet in detail. Each week, the researchers pumped blood on an empty stomach to test for biochemical indicators such as lipids, blood sugar, insulin, and biomarkers associated with vascular function and inflammation. The results showed that during the 20-week trial period, they had no change in the composition of carbohydrates, sugars, fats and proteins in their diet other than apples or controlled foods, and that food interventions did not affect their weight, waist circumference, and body fat. However, during apple consumption, the subjects' total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol ("bad" cholesterol) and triglycerides were reduced, and the microvascular dilation response was more pronounced.
    researchers believe that eating more apples in people with mild hypercholesteroneemia can help lower cholesterol and improve blood vessel function.
