The Peel Of Apple To Pop Up Muscle...
In a recent research done at University of Iowa it was found that the waxy substance known as Ursolic acid found in apple peel reduces muscle atrophy and promotes muscle growth.
It was found to reduce fat, blood sugar level, cholesterol and triglyceride, hence can be used in muscle wasting diseases like diabetes.
It is considered a good solution for muscle atrophy in patients with long standing diseases as it contains the chemical called ursolic acid which was found to block atrophy.
The ursolic acid reduces muscle atrophy by helping Insulin like Growth Factor 1(IGF1) and insulin to build muscle.
Interestingly this ursolic acid although increases muscle weight, it didn't increase total body weight..

An Apple A Day Keeps The Cholesterol Away...more»
Researchers from Florida State University have added one more benefit to the list of apple benefits, that apple has a significant effect on lowering the bad cholesterol.
Apple pectin and polyphenols improve lipid metabolism and lower production of pro-inflammatory molecules.
This research revealed the long term cardio protective effects of daily consumption of apples in postmenopausal women.
It was found to decrease LDL cholesterol by 23 percent and also leads in decreasing of lipid hydroperoxide level and C-reactive protein and increase of good cholesterol(HDL) by 4 percent.
Importantly it was found that getting the extra calories from apple didn't lead to any weight gain..

Eat the Almonds, beat the Diabetes..see more...
Researchers from various parts of the world have found that eating almonds has a positive effect on decreasing Low Density Cholesterol and also improves insulin sensitivity, so it does help in pushing diabetes away.
Almond is a healthy source of fibre, protein and calories.
With an estimation of about 60million diabetic people, the India has worlds largest diabetics and is expected to reach 87million by 2030 ie 8.4 percent of adult population.
A diet consisting of 20% of calories as almonds over a 16 week period is effective in improving markers of insulin sensitivity and yield clinically significant improvement in LDL-C in adults with prediabetics, the study says.
It is important keep in mind that amount of almonds taken has to be seen in percentage of total calorie intake..
