Better to start the day with an apple than a cup of coffee: an apple is healthier and will help you wake up as well as coffee, say food experts.

Many people prefer to start their day with coffee.. It is believed that the caffeine contained in this drink quickly drives away the feeling of drowsiness and brings a person into shape.. Indeed, caffeine increases blood pressure, oxygen levels, body temperature, increases breathing and brain activity, all of which are important if you want to wake up faster.. Although these properties of caffeine are obvious, it also has disadvantages: it reduces acidity, sometimes provokes insomnia, deprives us of essential minerals, and even causes addiction.. A good and healthy alternative to coffee in the morning is a fresh apple, according to many experts..

Apples are among the most nutritious and healthy fruits, and in Armenia they are available all year round.. Apples contain a variety of phytochemicals, including quercetin, catechin, phloridzin, and chlorogenic acid, which have strong antioxidant properties.. It is believed that regular consumption of apples inhibits the growth of cancer cells, reduces the degree of lipid oxidation and reduces cholesterol..

But can a fresh apple replace coffee in the morning Of course, it does not contain caffeine, which has a stimulating effect on the body, protecting against fatigue and wearing out all systems faster.. After all, the burst of energy that we get from caffeine is the result of nerve stimulation, and not at all a consequence of exposure to some real source of energy.. But apples contain natural sugars or fructose, which also help wake up and give the body energy.. Fructose provides an equally pronounced burst of energy than koge, but after it there will be no decline and lethargy, as happens some time after coffee. In addition, apples are full of fiber for longer satiety, as well as vitamins and minerals..
