Apples help regulate your blood sugar. Apples are loaded with phytonutrients including polyphenols,
which help prevent spikes in blood sugar several ways.
Recent research has discovered that the polyphenols in apples can stimulate the beta cells of the pancreas to secrete insulin, helping diabetics and pre-diabetics.
The polyphenols also lessen absorption of glucose from the digestive tract, and stimulate the insulin receptors, increasing the uptake of glucose from the blood.
Also, the flavonoids like quercetin that apples contain inhibit enzymes (including alpha-amylase and alpha-glucosidase) which help break down complex carbohydrates into simple sugars. When these enzymes are inhibited, your blood will have fewer simple sugars.
Apples are among the alkalizing fruits. Unfortunately, apples are often covered in pesticides. If you cannot get organic apples, you may have to cut off the skin, sacrificing some of the nutrients (and cutting off the skin will not eliminate the pesticides that have been absorbed into the flesh of the apple, so the only real solution is to buy or grow your own organic apples).
Las manzanas ayudan a regular el azúcar en la sangre. Las manzanas están cargados de fitonutrientes incluyendo polifenoles, que ayudan a prevenir los picos de azúcar en la sangre de varias maneras.
La investigación cientifica recientamente ha descubierto que los polifenoles en las manzanas pueden estimular las células beta del páncreas para secretar insulina, ayudando a los diabéticos y prediabéticos.
Los polifenoles también disminuyen la absorción de glucosa desde el tracto digestivo, y estimulan los receptores de insulina, aumentando la captación de glucosa de la sangre.
Además, los flavonoides como la quercetina que las manzanas contienen inhiben enzimas (incluyendo alfa-amilasa y alfa-glucosidasa) que ayudan a descomponer los carbohidratos complejos en azúcares simples. Cuando se inhiben estas enzimas, su sangre tendrá menos azúcares simples.

Além disso, os flavonóides quercetina como que as maçãs contêm inibe as enzimas (incluindo alfa-amilase e alfa-glicosidase), que ajudam a quebrar os carboidratos complexos em açúcares simples. Quando estas enzimas são inibidas, o seu sangue terão menos açúcares simples.
