What should I pay attention to when drinking apple water?

Apple water is rich in nutrients and has many benefits, but there are still some aspects to pay attention to when drinking:
Limit how much you drink: While apple water has health benefits, drinking too much can cause some problems. Apples contain a certain amount of sugar, and excessive consumption of apple water may lead to excessive sugar intake, increasing the risk of obesity, dental caries and diabetes. In addition, drinking a lot of apple water may also increase the burden on the stomach, causing dyspepsia, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms. In general, it is more appropriate for adults to drink 300-500 ml of apple water per day, and children need to reduce the amount of drinking according to age and weight.
Drink with caution for special groups
Diabetics: Apples themselves contain a certain amount of carbohydrates, during the boiling process, some of the carbohydrates will dissolve in the water, resulting in apple water with a certain glycemic index. After diabetes patients drink, it may cause blood sugar fluctuations, which is not conducive to blood sugar control. Therefore, people with diabetes need to be especially cautious when drinking apple water, it is best to consult a doctor or nutritionist before drinking, and closely monitor blood sugar changes. If the blood sugar control is unstable, it is recommended not to drink apple water for the time being; If the blood sugar control is relatively stable, you can drink a small amount and reduce the intake of other staple foods accordingly to maintain the stability of blood sugar.
Gastrointestinal sensitive people: apples are rich in dietary fiber, especially pectin, which can absorb water in the intestine, increase the volume of stool, and promote intestinal motility. For people with normal gastrointestinal function, a moderate intake of dietary fiber helps maintain intestinal health and prevent problems such as constipation. However, the gastrointestinal function of people with gastrointestinal sensitivity is relatively weak, the intestinal mucosa is more fragile, and the tolerance of dietary fiber is poor. After drinking apple water, the dietary fiber in it may irritate the intestines, leading to accelerated intestinal peristalsis, which causes abdominal pain, diarrhea and other uncomfortable symptoms. Therefore, when people with gastrointestinal sensitivity drink apple water, they should pay attention to control the amount and frequency of drinking, and avoid drinking too much or too frequently at one time. At the same time, you can also heat the apple water before drinking, which helps to reduce the irritation of the apple water on the stomach.
Pay attention to drinking time: The time of drinking apple water will also have different effects on the body. In general, it is not recommended to drink apple water on an empty stomach. This is because apple water contains a certain amount of fruit acid and organic acid, when drinking on an empty stomach, these acidic substances will directly stimulate the gastric mucosa, resulting in excessive secretion of stomach acid, resulting in stomach discomfort, such as stomach pain, stomach distension, acid reflux and other symptoms. Especially for itself with gastric ulcer, gastritis and stomach disease people, drinking apple may aggravate the water on an empty stomach. Therefore, it is recommended to drink apple water about half an hour to an hour after a meal, so that it can avoid the direct stimulation of apple water on the gastric mucosa, but also promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, help digest food, reduce the burden on the stomach.
Make and store correctly
How it's made: Hygiene is crucial when making apple water. First of all, to ensure the cleanliness of the apple, the surface of the apple dirt, pesticide residues, etc., thoroughly clean. You can first rinse the apple with water, then sprinkle some salt on the surface of the apple, gently rub with your hands, so that the salt is in full contact with the surface of the apple, which can better remove the dirt and pesticide residues on the surface of the apple. Rub for a few minutes, then rinse the apple with water. Secondly, the POTS and utensils used to make apple water should also be kept clean and washed with boiling water in advance to kill the bacteria and viruses that may exist. During the production process, attention should be paid to avoid contact between the apple and other items that may be contaminated, and ensure the hygiene and safety of the apple water.
Preservation method: If the cooked apple water can not be drunk in time, it is necessary to take the correct preservation method to prevent the deterioration of the apple water. In general, apple water should not be stored at room temperature for too long, because bacteria are easy to breed and multiply at room temperature, leading to deterioration of apple water. If the indoor temperature is high, it is recommended to put the cooked apple water in the refrigerator in time. Before putting in the refrigerator, first cool the apple water to room temperature, then pour into a clean airtight container, put in the refrigerator freezer, the temperature set at about 2-8 ℃ is appropriate. This can inhibit the growth and reproduction of bacteria and extend the storage time of apple water, which can generally be stored for 1-2 days. It should be noted that after taking out the refrigerated apple water from the refrigerator, do not place it for too long before drinking, so as to avoid the deterioration of the apple water by bacterial contamination at room temperature. In addition, if the apple water in the preservation process appears odor, discoloration, turbidity and other phenomena, indicating that the apple water has deteriorated, should immediately stop drinking, so as not to cause physical discomfort.
