Two apples a day - a necessary part of the female diet. Especially if a woman is over 50 and needs to take better care of her health.. Apples can become indispensable helpers: they reduce the risk of stroke and heart attack by almost 25%. This conclusion was made by scientists from the University of Florida. They conducted an experiment in which 160 women who had gone through menopause participated..

Volunteers were asked to split into two groups.. Participants from the first group had to eat 75 grams of dried apples daily (about the same as two fresh apples).

Participants from the second group pledged to eat the same number of grams of plums. Once every three months, all women underwent a blood test.. He found that those who ate apples, the level of bad cholesterol in the blood first fell by 16%, and then by another 8%. Total - apples reduced this level by 24%.

Plums did not give such a significant result, although they also lowered cholesterol.. So apples can be considered a means of preventing cardiovascular diseases..
