The nutritionist pointed out the harm of apples with peel for some people

Nutritionist and nutritionist Sofia Kovanova warned that the peel of apples is useful because of the high fiber content, but in some cases, eating an unpeeled apple can harm your health.

In conversation with aif.ru On Thursday, February 12, the specialist said that the peel of apples contains up to 50% of the total fiber of the fruit, and it helps to reduce blood sugar levels. According to her, with proper and careful processing, apples with peel can be consumed by everyone — both children and adults.

However, she noted that improper fruit processing can lead to negative consequences. For people with sensitive intestines, it is better to remove the peel, and in this case it is recommended to bake apples. Among the possible disadvantages, she also mentioned the poor quality of the fruit and the method of its pretreatment.

Experts added that it is important to pay attention to the appearance of the peel: if it is thin, it is not necessary to remove it, but thick and shiny may indicate waxing, which cannot be completely removed by rinsing with water.

Gastroenterologist Sergey Vyalov said on February 11 that the insoluble fiber contained in the apple peel can cause unpleasant sensations. It acts on the intestines like a brush, but it is not digested. The fructose and sorbitol in apples in the large intestine interact with bacteria, causing fermentation, gas formation, bloating and pain, notes 360.ru .

In September, integrative nutritionist Yulia Sharapova, in an interview with Moscow 24, recommended eating apples in the morning. The average daily intake of apples is about 300 grams per day, that is, one or two fruits, RT clarifies.

Prior to this, doctor Tatiana Pochekhovskaya warned that it is important to wash fruits, even if they are in the peel. This will help avoid foodborne illnesses such as norovirus, which is the main cause of disease outbreaks due to contaminated food.

Earlier, nutritionist Mikhail Ginzburg said that apples with peel are contraindicated for people with stomach diseases. This is especially true for those who suffer from peptic ulcer or erosive gastritis.
