The benefits of pancakes
The benefits and harms of chocolate and apples have long been discussed by doctors and nutritionists. Therefore, in order for these products to bring only benefit to our body, let's go broke, who can eat pancakes and who can't.
1. Apple
Apples contain many vitamins (C, B1, B2, P, E), incl. manganese and potassium. In addition, the apple is a source of iron, and it is easy to settle. These fruits are used during colds and the treatment of severe ailments, for example, malignant tumors. Potassium in them helps to normalize blood pressure, and calcium is important for strengthening bone tissue and tooth enamel. Fiber is absorbed by the body for a long time, and for a long time does not allow you to feel hunger. Pectin improves complexion, skin freshness and promotes youthfulness. And most importantly, after heat treatment, apples practically do not lose nutrients.
However, one should not forget that no matter how good apples are, they can harm our body, especially those with gastritis, stomach ulcers and duodenal ulcers. Also, sweet apples are not recommended for patients with cardiovascular dystonia.
2. Chocolate
The systematic use of chocolate will allow to normalize the function of platelets (platelets), which prevent the formation of blood clots in the vessels of the brain and heart. Chocolate is rich in calcium, phosphorus and magnesium. Calcium strengthens bone tissue, magnesium regulates cell metabolism, and phosphorus nourishes the brain. The tianins found in chocolate prevent plaque formation and have antibacterial properties. Fluoride and phosphates strengthen teeth, from which chocolate will never cause tooth decay. And the most valuable property of chocolate is its ability to cheer up. Therefore, in moments of sadness and sadness, it is enough to eat a small piece of chocolate, and life will become more beautiful.
But, no matter how useful chocolate is, in case of diseases of the digestive system, it should be used with caution. Because in this case, chocolate can act as a laxative. Also, do not overuse chocolate for problems with the cardiovascular system.
