Thanks for the invitation!

Hospital, a word that terrifies me beyond belief, a place that I remember from my toddler years to my adult years.

I remember when I was only a few years old, I don't know what happened to the fever, the family thought that the cold gave me some cold medicine for a few days. A week passed, the fever never went down, gradually could not eat, every day only drink a little boiled cabbage, seasonal beans soup, which lasted about a week, my parents found that something was wrong, only to rush to send me to the hospital.

At first, I went to a small hospital nearby, the doctor took the temperature and checked briefly, and then told my parents to hurry to the big hospital. To the big hospital only vaguely remember the doctor said: half a day later will be completely hopeless. As for the specific what is the disease, why the fever, the brain does not have any memory.

Since then, looking at the hospital has an inexplicable sense of fear, in addition to the necessary physical examination, never went to the hospital, did not suffer from a major disease, general stomach problems, minor illnesses, colds, only to go to the nearby drugstore to buy some medicine.

The other day I read a news story about a 115 year old man who has never been in a hospital in his life. Because of my own fear of hospitals, I was curious about such news. After all, no one likes to go into the hospital, once in the hospital means that in addition to money not to mention, the main thing is that their body is not suitable for the torture of the disease.

It is reported that although the old woman is 115 years old, she is still blind and deaf, and her health is robust. The old man has been helping her children to bring up their children, has never been in the hospital in his life, only a few small colds, and has not suffered from major illnesses. According to the old man's second son said, the old man's favorite apple, now the teeth can not bite it will be cooked to eat.

Nani? We live in such a common fruit, really can make a person never enter the hospital without serious illness? To be honest I am a little bit of disbelief, although I do not like to eat fruit, but often all kinds of style to eat apples so many people, there are still people who do not have a lot of major illnesses and minor illnesses, and so deliberately go to the Internet to find out what are the benefits of fruit.

Apples are known as the "Fruit of Wisdom" and "Fruit of Memory".

It has long been found that eating more apples has the effect of enhancing memory and improving intelligence. Apples can not only regulate gastrointestinal function, lower cholesterol, lower blood pressure, cancer prevention, weight loss, but also protect the heart, improve immunity, beauty, eliminate fatigue, enhance memory and other effects.

So some powerful features, finally found why often see those girls holding the apple to gnaw, just rushed to beauty, weight loss effect, it is enough to let a wave of girls rush, can not wait to eat apples every day without eating, and then more and more thin, skin more and more moist, people grow more and more beautiful.

In life, many partners may be easy to figure simple it, usually directly eat apples or juice, but rarely see people will be cooked apples to eat. The Internet also mentioned that if you cook the apple to eat, the nutritional effect of a hundred times!

Better nutritional performance

After heating the apple, the dietary fiber pectin is softened, and the softened dietary fiber and pectin are more easily utilized by the body, thus making its nutritional role more complete.

Reduces gastrointestinal irritation

Cooked apples are more suitable for people who are bedridden, have poor oral dentition, or have poor gastrointestinal function, which reduces chewing and irritation of the gastrointestinal tract, making intake smoother.

Lowering blood sugar, lowering blood lipids

When apples are heated, the amount of polyphenol natural antioxidants they contain increases dramatically. Polyphenols are not only able to lower blood sugar, blood lipids, inhibit free radicals while antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic, but also inhibit plasma cholesterol elevation.

In addition to this old man's special favorite apple, there are other fruits that are particularly high in nutritional value. Fruits can also lower blood pressure, improve eyesight, fight cancer, lower cholesterol, and replenish vitamins, etc. In addition to being an awesome companion for kids as they grow up, fruits are also an essential source of nutrients in our lives.

Avocado, known as the "Cream of the Forest".

Avocado is a fruit with high nutritional value, containing a variety of vitamins, rich in fatty acids, protein, and sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium and other trace elements, and it is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids is what we lack in China.

If you're not used to it, you can pair the creamy avocado with refreshing cucumber and a hint of lemon to make a sauce that tastes refreshing! Add some texture to the presentation, and you've got yourself a high-end Western-style meal!

The so-called "memory fruit", Galangal, is suitable for young and old alike.

Gali fruit is also known as Kina (Na) fruit or Ghana fruit, containing fructose, glucose, sucrose and many other vitamins, carotene, a variety of minerals, of which pectin and potassium in the top of the fruit. It is a good fruit for slimming and weight loss, similar in appearance to apples with slight differences.

Eating 1-2 galangal per day can replenish a lot of micronutrients needed by the body. In addition to its cholesterol-lowering effect, Galangal is also rich in nutrients. Eating must be chewed slowly, which is not only conducive to digestion, but more importantly, is conducive to the prevention of a variety of diseases.

There is another point I believe we all know, eat more fruits and vegetables can help women improve skin color, life many people can not live without fruits every day, such as wild blueberries, grapefruit, citrus, kiwi and so on, their nutritional value is not bad, you should eat more of it.

As the saying goes, one fruit a day, the doctor away from me. The ancients really do not deceive me carry on, looked through a bunch of information, found that it is really like that. Scared me immediately ordered a box of hoarding home, from now on, step on the snow to meet the wind, facing the sea, spring flowers! So what do you think about apples?

Apples are really good, there was a time when apples were the only winter fruit in the northern regions, but now they can be eaten all year round. Apples are rich in fructose, pectin, potassium and polyphenolic antioxidants, which are beneficial in preventing cardiovascular diseases. Working in the hospital's geriatric ward for 21 years, I've come into contact with a lot of centenarians, but to say that the elderly rely on apples to eat their whole lives and do not go into the hospital is purely part of the title party! Because apples are not the only food for the elderly, if the elderly also drink tea, it is difficult to say that the elderly just drink tea can live to 115 years old without going to the hospital.

There are at least a few reasons why old people live longer:

1️⃣ good genetic inheritance

Genes are the most important fundamental influence on health and life expectancy, we commonly many people have obesity genes, or cancer genes, family history of diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and other cardiovascular diseases family history and even gout family history. Family hereditary disease that is the main causative factor affecting life expectancy. Longevity family gene inheritance, if other aspects also focus on health is very easy to live longer than others.

2️⃣Better routine

The nine-to-five life of modern people cannot be compared with the life of the predecessors who worked from sunrise to sunset. Modern people's lives are so stressful that their subconscious goals are hard to achieve, while the previous generation's life of living at home, passing on the family name without fear, and men farming and weaving is relatively easy and regular. In the era without electronic products, no one stayed up late to play cell phones and computer games, and adequate sleep and physical labor was another important indicator of longevity.

3️⃣ Sensible Dietary Life

In the past, the living conditions of our fathers and even grandfathers were not good, we basically ate vegetarian, insisted on walking, communication by roaring, transportation by walking, I have an aunt this year more than seventy years old, all his life will not ride a bicycle, to where to go now or mainly walk, and now riding a bicycle have become a form of exercise. Modern people too much meat, high-fat food, too little dietary fiber and vitamin intake, overeating, too much alcohol and sweet drinks are all the reasons that affect life expectancy.

4️⃣Good Mental Status

As the most notable feature of the city people are forced to housing, medical care, schooling, transportation and other pressures, after work at night to go home to cook dinner on the next to go to bed, before dawn to get up and rush to work, a day of bad food, bad sleep, but also want to live a long life? Maybe we see more people in the hospital, there are really a lot of people with mental depression. When a person's spirit is difficult to relax, not only will affect their own health, but also affect the health of their family, how can they live a long life?

To summarize, if you belong to the above mentioned people, is it possible that you can live to be 100 years old by eating an apple a day? If so, then it is even more of a wonder in the world that the elderly in Xinjiang can live a long life by eating two or three naans a day.

Seeing such a title, I guess a lot of people have to be so happy that they don't do anything and rush to buy apples to eat. Look at this old man eating apples, never been hospitalized in his life. Let's look at the problem rationally. This old man is indeed a long life, but longevity is determined by a variety of factors, not every day by eating apples can be fixed things! If this is really the case, it is estimated that apples will have to be bought at sky-high prices, and the average person will probably not be able to afford to eat them.

Apples are a very good fruit, but living a long life without getting sick is not something you can achieve simply by eating apples.

Apples as a kind of fruit, "temperament" is mild, the taste is very easy for people to accept, the most prominent advantage is that it contains pectin is relatively rich in calories is not high, eat up a strong sense of satiety, is conducive to intestinal health, for the management of the body control is also a positive significance. Other nutritional aspects compared to other fruits, there is no outstanding advantage, should be the words: you have I have everyone also have.

And this long-lived man, who has never been in the hospital in his life, was determined by a number of factors, not just apples.

The basis for a long and healthy life: it is greatly influenced by genetic factors, and there are also scientific diet, exercise, a good state of mind, adequate sleep, and the external environment, all of which affect health and longevity.

To summarize is that longevity is a combination of factors, and not simply by eating a certain food can be achieved. So, when we see such pompous things in the future, we will have a clear idea in our hearts. As for the apple, eat it, as a kind of fruit and other fruits with other kinds of eating a good.

115 year old man has never been hospitalized in his life by eating apples, are apples really that good?

Answer: Apples are a nutritious fruit, but they are not a "panacea" for a long and healthy life.

The first thing to point out is that the question itself is a "false proposition" - "115-year-old man has never been hospitalized in his life by eating apples", what evidence is there to prove that there is an inevitable causal relationship between the old man eating apples and not being hospitalized? What evidence is there to prove that there is an inevitable causal relationship between an old man eating apples and not being hospitalized? If there is, why do we need hospitals if we all eat apples?

I'm not saying this to be a jerk, but I want to tell you that there is no food in the world that can make you live a long and healthy life. Otherwise, it would be an "elixir". Because for the nutritional needs of human beings, there is no one food in the world is perfect, because of this, the principle of human diet is a variety of food, nutritional balance. Apples are just one of the fruits, the nutritional value of apples, can only be said to be "five fruits to help" only.

We know that the four cornerstones of health include: optimism (some say mental balance), adequate sleep (some say stop smoking and limit alcohol), scientific exercise, and reasonable diet. Eating properly is only one part of this, not to mention that apples are only a small part of the diet.

Of course, among fruits, apples can be considered as an inexpensive and nutritious fruit. The nutrients contained in apples are both comprehensive and easy to be digested and absorbed by the human body, which is very suitable for infants, young children, the elderly and the sick to eat. Apples are known as "wisdom fruit" and "memory fruit". This is related to the fact that apples contain zinc. Zinc is an essential element that constitutes nucleic acids and proteins that are closely related to memory. Lack of zinc can make the cerebral cortex edge of the hippocampal area of poor development, affecting memory, zinc also with the production of antibodies, improve human immunity has a close relationship. Zinc content in apples in the fruit is still very high, but, compared with oysters and other shellfish, it is simply small. Apples are also rich in sugar, vitamins and minerals and other essential nutrients for the brain. But these nutrients are more abundant in other foods.

Apples contain magnesium, magnesium can make the skin healthy, red and glossy, plus apples are rich in carotene and a variety of vitamins and iron, eating apples can be nutritious to the skin, and can curb chloasma, butterfly spot generation. Pectin in apples can reduce cholesterol, eat one or two apples a day is not easy to get heart disease. Can also laxative and anti-diarrhea, lower blood pressure. Most of the pectin in apples is on the skin, so it is best to eat apples without peeling. The soluble fiber in apples can regulate blood sugar, which is beneficial to diabetics.

Despite all the nutrients they have, apples are just ordinary fruits. The advantages of apples are that they can be eaten almost all year round, are easy to store, and have a flavor that is accessible to the public. Therefore, as a daily fruit, especially in the north, apples are a good choice.

Both at home and abroad, Apple is unanimously praised!

There is a foreign proverb: An apple a day, keep the docter away!

Benefits of Apples

serving size

1 to 2 per day is sufficient.

Men should eat more apples than women.

Edible Methods

It can be eaten raw or cooked, and can also be made into dried fruit, jam and jelly.

It is generally best eaten raw by people who are relatively healthy, as it retains all the nutrients of the apple.

It is recommended to peel the skin before eating, because many apples on the market have been waxed and other treatments, and peeling can avoid absorbing some of the chemicals on the skin.

When I saw this question, I couldn't help but wonder, is this a question pushed by the Apple sellers? (Just kidding)

Apples are indeed one of the great fruits, rich in pectin, fructose, polyphenols, vitamins and antioxidants!

For example, apples contain sufficient potassium, which can combine with excess sodium in the body and excrete it together, thus effectively lowering blood pressure. At the same time, potassium ions can also protect blood vessels and reduce the incidence of hypertension and stroke.

Apples contain polyphenols and flavonoids, which are natural antioxidants that can prevent cancer and lead poisoning. The unique flavor of apples can also relieve bad moods caused by excessive stress and play a role in refreshing the brain.

Apples are rich in crude fiber, which can promote intestinal peristalsis and help the human body to expel toxins smoothly. Apples also contain a lot of magnesium, sulfur, iron, copper, iodine, manganese, zinc and other trace elements, they can make the skin delicate, lubrication, red and shiny.

But if it were true that you lived a high life by eating apples and not going to the hospital, as the question describes, then hospitals would not be overcrowded every day! Then everyone would be growing apple trees ~ for health and not getting sick!

Whether or not a person lives a long life is multi-faceted factors, there is no single aspect, at the very least, including these three points:

1 personal constitution This is given by mom and dad can not change, some people are good constitution, some people care about diet and exercise or not!

2 is to eat and move in a balanced way. Not too much food, 7 or 8 minutes full! But must be nutritionally balanced! Exercise properly. That's always good!

3 Optimistic Mindset Some people fall ill, but a lot of people are scared! Much suspicion and worry! Sooner or later you will get sick if you are preoccupied! So it's important to be cheerful and optimistic!

If apples are really that good, then why go to the hospital, just go to the supermarket and buy some apples when you are sick? Doctors are still what doctors it, hurry home to plant the land, planting apples ah!

There is a saying that an apple a day keeps the doctor away. But what do you mean by that? It's just a saying. If you take it seriously, you lose. We also have a saying, "If you die under a peony flower, you can be a ghost. Would you kill yourself under a peony flower just for the sake of being a romantic ghost?

A person's life expectancy has a lot to do with genetics, lifestyle habits, diet and emotions. Of course, apples are indeed nutritious, and one a day does have some health benefits, but even better, it is just a fruit, not a miracle cure for longevity. If this 115-year-old man poops every day, can we assume that pooping every day will make people live to be 115 years old?

You've never been to a hospital in your life. I'm surprised you haven't had a cold or a fever in 115 years. Just because you haven't been to the hospital doesn't mean you haven't been sick. You can go to a clinic, you can buy your own medicine! So, just read the news, it's not like it's a soft seller of apples! If you really think you can live to 115 even if you have an apple a day, your heart will be broken by the apple!

Apples are indeed a good fruit, rich in dietary fiber, various antioxidant nutrients, and more. Dietary fiber, for example, helps our intestinal peristalsis, which helps prevent constipation and will be helpful in reducing the risk of colorectal cancer. Apples also contain a large number of organic acids and polyphenols antioxidant substances, organic acids can stimulate gastric juice secretion, promote digestion; polyphenols, flavonoids and other components and vitamins constitute an antioxidant system, which can promptly remove the body's metabolic waste.

But there is more to a person's health than just a single food. The most important thing about health is your genes, and throwing genes out of the picture a healthy balanced diet is very important and not something that can be achieved by eating apples alone. Eating only apples alone you would have been malnourished, osteoporosis, anemia, etc. long ago.

A healthy diet should be a variety of foods and a balanced meal. On average, each person needs to consume more than 12 food items per day, and greater than 25 or more per week. It is recommended that each person consumes 250-400 grams of cereals per day, of which 50-150 grams should be whole grains and mixed legumes and 50-100 grams of potatoes. Vegetables 350-500 grams per day especially dark colored vegetables (red, yellow, orange, purple, black, dark green), one cup of milk 300 ml per day, one egg per day, one handful of fish or meat. 25 grams of soy products per day. Limit salt and less oil Less than 6 grams of salt and 25-30 grams of cooking oil per day.

Another very important point is to eat a balanced diet and be at a healthy weight. Standard weight can use your height - 105 is your standard weight floating up and down 10%. It is best to actively exercise 1,000 steps per day and drink 1,700 milliliters of water per day.

A healthy body is all about balanced meals and daily exercise.

Thanks for the answer, my first impression after seeing this question was that the secret of this centenarian's longevity should not only be apples, but his habits, dietary structure and mindset were also the main reasons for his longevity. But there is no doubt that apples added to his longevity. Apples are a common fruit in our daily life. Apples are not only inexpensive and tasty, but also have certain health effects.

From the point of view of Chinese medicine: "apple solid, sweet odor, cold, non-toxic, can benefit the heart qi, hunger resistance." "Dry gold - food treatment" on the said: "real, to promote the thirst." The Famous Doctors' Alibi, says: "Eating more makes the lungs plastic and abdominal distension. There are patients especially." The Compendium of Materia Medica said: "Real, the main treatment of the middle jiao all insufficient gas, and the spleen. Cure the stroke of fullness of gas plastic impassable, mashed juice to serve." Probably means that the apple tastes good, thirst quenching, can regulate the stomach and intestines, laxative benefits. Modern medicine and research shows that apples contain carotene, ascorbic acid, calcium, iron, potassium and other rich nutrients. Eating apples for a long time can soften blood vessels, reduce blood lipids, nourish the liver and detoxification, and enhance the ability of the body's immune system. At the same time, apples can also regulate gastrointestinal function, promote gastric secretion, strengthen the role of digestion, but also can neutralize a large number of acids in the human body, so that people quickly eliminate fatigue and restore physical strength. The unique flavor of apples is also a good medicine for depression, with the role of eliminating psychological stress, especially for young people who are now living a high-speed rotation.

Therefore, the old man in the question eats apples all year round, and his immunity, gastrointestinal function and mood are all subconsciously regulated, and it also lays a good foundation for his longevity.

The authoritative interpretation of Pharmaceutical Affairs, unauthorized reproduction, plagiarism will be punished.

Apples are very common fruit in our daily life, in the past due to China's low apple production and refrigeration backward, for many people to eat apples every day, there is a little difficulty. Now due to China's high apple production, apple refrigeration technology is mature. Eating apples every day is not difficult!

Apple as a fruit, it, like many fruits, is rich in vitamins, ellagic acid, malic acid, organic acids, pectin and fiber and other substances, which are beneficial to the body in many ways. And the pectin and cellulose in it can improve the intestinal environment and can improve laxity. But many fruits have similar functions, they are nothing more than food.

The network of various rumors and false propaganda, some usually very long to see food, say a lot of functions, sometimes feel that this food can do everything, and even cure all diseases. Now add a "title", can prolong life, long life. I feel that this is a "false proposition"!

There is a lot of confusion from this question:

• The first thing is that the old man is already so old and should have gone through many difficult times, such as the Republic of China, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation and the difficult times in our country, is it possible for him to eat apples every day?
  
• Secondly, does the elderly person have any other good living habits in his/her life? Has any detailed investigation been done on the surrounding living environment, family genetics, usual living habits and working conditions?
• How is it proven that an old man has never been hospitalized in his life? If such an old man does exist, by what study, by what evidence-based, prove that it is eating apples that makes the old man live a long life ah! There are many causes of longevity, don't just take one good habit!

It feels like this is just like a lot of health rumors these days, taking a very common food and assigning sacred functions to it. If it was that magical, there would be no need for hospitals to exist, and apple production, nowadays, can be as high as one a day! Let's eat apples every day!
