In the summer I visited a garden center and its owner had nails stuck into an apple. It made my jaw drop.

Apple, one of our best-known fruits, is consumed around the world. Since ancient times it has been attributed significant medicinal properties. The fact that it is often part of many mythologies also testifies to its importance. Apples have a hemostatic, diuretic and stimulating effect, and are also valued for their antiseptic and general medicinal properties.

Apples are rich in fiber

The essential detoxifying effect of apples is their ability to stimulate bacteria in the intestinal tract that are beneficial to the body. Apples suppress thirst due to their high water content. This is also the reason they are so easily digestible. They are rich in fiber and when you eat them raw, they help clean the teeth and care for the gums. They contain malic and tartaric acids, which support the detoxifying activity of the liver and inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria in the digestive system.

In one apple we find vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamins A, E, B1, B2 and B6, potassium, manganese and copper. They contain few calories, so they are very suitable for losing weight. They also contribute to a greater feeling of satiety. It is recommended to eat apples with the peel, since the peel contains half of the total amount of fiber and also a large amount of polyphenols.

A remedy for anemia

Apples contain pectin, which forms a gel-like substance that helps prevent harmful putrefaction of proteins in the digestive tract. And not long ago an interesting method appeared on the internet on how to treat anemia. It consists of combining a miraculous apple and an iron nail. Of course you do not have to eat the nail; you only make use of its properties.

The whole method consists of sticking as many nails as possible into the apple and leaving them inside for about 40 minutes. Then remove the nails and eat the apple. If you consume such a specially prepared apple every day, the effect will appear within a short time. Of course, it is necessary that the nails are perfectly clean and disinfected, free of rust and dirt.
