Apples - the best remedy for muscle atrophy
People Eat apples, can longer keep your body healthy and slender, studies have shown. Scientists have conducted tests on mice and found that the apples - the best remedy for muscle atrophy - loss of body muscle mass that occurs with age.
Muscle atrophy involve a number of serious problems, but so far it has been found to cure. Researchers from the University of Iowa to study the activity of genes associated with muscle in order to find a substance that can interfere with illness, and identify the necessary components in the peel of apples, writes The Telegraph.
This substance is called ursolic acid. Experiments on mice showed that: it helps to increase muscle mass more than 15%. However, the total weight of rodents fed this acid remained the same, but the fat has become less by more than half, according to a study published in the journal "Metabolism of cells."
Scientists believe that ursolic acid works by reprogramming the genes that are responsible for the loss of muscle mass and replaced it with fat. Following the experiments on mice experts are preparing to test their discovery in humans.
As for the apples, they can also lower blood sugar levels that are harmful fatty acids and cholesterol. In addition, according to scientists, owing to its natural properties, these fruits help with diabetes.
