Swedish study finds that eating more apples helps protect the prostate

Apple has always been a healthy fruit recommended by nutritionists. According to the Times of India, a Swedish study added a new reason for eating apples - protecting the prostate.

The researchers selected 78 people with chronic prostatitis as the study subjects, and the average age was 55 years. During the one-year regular treatment, they asked half of them to eat 1-2 apples a day, while others did not. As a result, after eliminating the influence of other life factors, those who insist on eating apples are still better than those who do not eat apples.

Researchers analyzed that this may be the role of zinc in apples. In the prostatic fluid of patients with chronic prostatitis, the zinc content is significantly lower than that of normal people. By eating apples to supplement zinc, not only does not have any side effects, but also conducive to human body absorption and utilization. Usually 1-2 apples a day can help achieve the purpose of treatment of prostatitis. In addition, men can also eat peanuts, walnuts, sesame, pine nuts to supplement zinc.
