Nutritionist Korableva: apples should not be eaten for ulcers and gastritis nutritionist Olga Korableva, writes RIA Novosti.
According to her, they are especially dangerous for ulcers and gastritis. She recalled that an apple eaten on an empty stomach, like other acidic foods, causes bloating and irritation of the mucous membranes. A person may have aggravated diseases due to the large amount of coarse fiber.
As an alternative, she recommended baked apples. During heat treatment, the citric and malic acids contained in them are destroyed. Despite this, the product retains pectin, which has a beneficial effect on the intestines.
Previously, nutritionist Marina Apletaeva said that apples are especially rich in vitamins, macro- and microelements, like any other seasonal fruits and berries … However, not all components are absorbed by the body. In addition, according to Apletaeva, apples contain substances that can have an antioxidant effect on the body, especially bright red varieties.
