Recently, nutritionist has shared a post on her Instagram handle. In this post, Deepshikha tells that if you consume apple in the right way, it can be helpful in getting rid of problems like constipation, diarrhea or poor gut health.

You must have often heard that many health related problems can be avoided by eating just one apple every day. Consuming apple gives us many benefits simultaneously. This is the reason why health experts advise people of all ages to eat an apple every day, especially during the summer season. Actually, gastrointestinal problems become common due to dehydration during the summer season. At the same time, consumption of apple is considered most beneficial in such problems. Apple promotes the growth of good bacteria in the intestines. In such a situation, its consumption can be beneficial for people suffering from constipation, diarrhea or poor gut health. However, to get rid of such problems, it is more important not only to eat apple, but to eat it in the right way.

What is the right way?

Actually, recently nutritionist has shared a post on her Instagram handle. In this post, Deepshikha tells that if you consume apple in the right way, it can be helpful in getting rid of problems like constipation, diarrhea or poor gut health . Let us know how-

Constipation

According to the nutritionist, ‘If you are troubled by constipation, then wash the apple and consume it along with the peel. Apple peels contain a good amount of insoluble fiber, which adds bulk to the stool, making it easier to pass stools and relieving you of constipation.’

diarrhea

Nutritionist says, ‘If you are suffering from diarrhea, then peel the apple and eat it. Eating an apple after peeling it increases the amount of pulp and soluble fiber in it, this slows down your digestion and gives you relief from problems like vomiting and diarrhea.

gut health

Apart from all this, nutritionist says that if you want to improve your gut health, then eat cooked apple for this. Cooking the apple increases the amount of pectin in it. Pectin increases the amount of good bacteria in the body, which improves your gut health.

What do experts say?

At the same time, during a conversation with Indian Express regarding this video of Nutritionist, consultant dietitian and diabetes teacher Kanika Malhotra agreed and said, ‘Apple peel is a rich source of insoluble fiber. This type of fiber acts as a bulking agent in the intestine. It absorbs water, increasing the size and softness of stools, and this extra volume stimulates the intestinal walls to contract and push waste through the digestive tract more efficiently, providing relief from constipation.’

Kanika Malhotra further explains, ‘Apple pulp is rich in soluble fiber, especially pectin. Soluble fiber dissolves in water, forming a gel-like substance. This gel traps fluids in the stool, adding consistency and slowing its passage through the intestines, reducing symptoms of diarrhea. Therefore, for individuals suffering from diarrhea, eating apples without the peel may be beneficial.’

Apart from all this, to consume apple for gut health, Malhotra says that cooking the apple makes it easier to extract the pectin content from it. In this situation, pectin works as a prebiotic and promotes the number of good bacteria in the intestines. That is, eating the apple with its peel or eating it after peeling it and eating it after cooking, all these methods are beneficial. You can choose your method as per your need.
