An Apple A Day Keeps the Doctor Away
This old adage still holds true today. Pectin in the skins of apples increases IAP which is a digestive tract enzyme that reduces intestinal inflammation and intestinal permeability. It is also a prebiotic for feeding the good bacteria, it lowers fat and obesity, is good fibre, and boosts iron absorption.
The following recipe releases the pectin from the skin, and eaten daily improves gut health.
Wash apples, remove core and dice. Add water to about a third. Add some cinnamon, and some raisins for a bit of sweetness. Cook for about 8 to 10 minutes until the skin on the apples goes shiny. This shows that the pectin has been released. Eat about 4 tablespoons daily.
