Features: Tannins, organic acids, and other substances in apples have astringent effects; pectin and cellulose can absorb bacterial toxins, so they help regulate intestines and stop diarrhea; organic acids and fiber can promote intestinal movement, thereby aiding in bowel movement. Therefore, to treat chronic diarrhea and dry stools, eating one apple in the morning and evening on an empty stomach each day can be effective; for diarrhea, use half-ripe apples, add water, and cook them, then eat both the apples and the broth. The benefits of weight loss by eating apples are that you don’t have to starve—just eat an apple when you feel hungry. Because it is a low-calorie food, no matter how much you eat, it won’t exceed the daily calories you normally consume, so your weight naturally decreases. People who lose weight by eating apples can also improve symptoms such as dry skin, allergic dermatitis, and constipation. It’s important to know that our appetite is controlled by the brain. When the central nervous system sends the command "want to eat, want to eat," you may become very greedy.
