Before breakfast
Eating an apple on an empty stomach in the morning helps wake up the body and improve digestion. Upon waking, the body's organs are activated, and it is dehydrated after a long night.
The water and fiber in apples help awaken the digestive tract, speed up metabolism and nutrient absorption, making the body feel more alert and energetic.
Eating an apple before breakfast also helps increase feelings of fullness, preventing overeating throughout the day.
Before meals
Eating an apple before a meal can fill your stomach, reduce appetite, and help you eat less during the main meal.
The fiber in apples increases feelings of fullness, so even when cutting calories, you won't feel hungry or crave snacks, thus making weight loss more effective.
Two hours after the main meal
Eating apples as a snack two hours after a main meal can speed up metabolism, promote the conversion of food into energy, and prevent excess fat accumulation.
The high water content in apples helps speed up blood circulation, reducing the burden on the digestive system and aiding in weight loss.
Before or after training
Apples are a good fruit choice for both pre- and post-workout meals. 100 grams of apples contain nearly 136 mg of flavonoids and 4 mg of quercetin (unpeeled apples), which can increase endurance during exercise. After exercise, flavonoids can speed up the recovery process.
