People who eat apples on a daily basis will be able to keep their body longer and more healthy,. The scientists conducted tests on mice and concluded that apples are the best remedy for muscle atrophy - loss of muscle mass by the body, which occurs with age, according to the Internet edition for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old Pannochka. Net Atrophy of muscles is associated with a number of serious problems, but so far no medicine has been found from it. Researchers from the University of Iowa engaged in the study of the activity of genes associated with muscles in order to find a substance that can prevent the disease, and identified the necessary component in the skin of apples, writes The Telegraph.

This substance is called ursolic acid. Experiments in mice have shown: it helps to increase muscle mass by more than 15%. At the same time, the total weight of rodents fed with this acid remained the same, but fat was less than more than half, according to a study published in the latest issue of the journal "Metabolism of cells".

Scientists believe that ursolic acid works by reprogramming genes that are responsible for losing muscle mass and replacing it with fat. Following the experiments on mice, specialists are preparing to test their findings on the person.

As for the apples themselves, they also contribute to lowering blood sugar, harmful fatty acids and cholesterol. In addition, according to scientists, due to their natural properties, these fruits help with diabetes.
