Apples are our intestines friend

In addition to lower cholesterol, eating an apple every day is good for intestinal health, especially the colon. Eat apples, either in the form of fruit or juice can help prevent colon cancer that affects many people from the city, due to wrong diet and lack of fiber.

This is evidenced by a German scientist, Dr. Dieter Schrenk, MD, and colleagues recently. Of the experiments they do, it is known that the apple contains butyric acid which is useful to prevent colon cancer. Increasing butyric acid in the body will suppress the amount of histone deacetlyases [ HDAC ], a substance that accelerates the growth of tumor cells.

So, for those who already have the embryo can be prevented colon cancer development. In addition, butyric acid also plays an important role in supplying nutrients to the epithelial cells. These cells function to prevent irritation of the mucous membrane of the intestine [ mucosa ]. Continued irritation can cause colon cancer.
