Apple is a common fruit, widely used at home and abroad, rich in various vitamins and micronutrients, can play a certain role in the body's nutritional supplement. However, patients with Parkinson's disease need to be vigilant about the intake of apples and other fruits, which can cause certain hazards to them during consumption. This article will discuss the potential harms of eating apples for Parkinson's disease.
1.Malic acid may aggravate the condition: Apples are rich in malic acid, citric acid and other organic acids, which can affect the body's absorption of iron and other minerals, and may also interfere with the absorption of medications, causing adverse effects. In addition, malic acid may also be associated with the combination of certain neurotransmitters, which can exacerbate the symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
2.Rich in oxidases may cause a reaction to the nervous system: Some fruits are rich in oxidases, which are released when the fruit is destroyed or activated, causing some adverse reactions to the body, which is more pronounced in Parkinson's patients. Enzymes bind to other chemicals, which can cause adverse reactions that can exacerbate the symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
3.Fructose may worsen symptoms: Apples and other fruits naturally contain fructose, which is not dangerous, but for people with Parkinson's disease, too much fructose can lead to some adverse effects, such as fatigue and muscle wasting.
4.Eating too much fiber can cause gas and constipation: Apples and other fruits are rich in unraveling fiber, which can cause symptoms of gastrointestinal bloating and constipation in people with Parkinson's disease. Excessive intake of these fruits can cause gastrointestinal motility problems in the body, which can affect digestion and aggravate the patient's symptoms.
5.Fruits may contain some amounts of wild toxins: Some fruits may contain a certain amount of wild toxins that can worsen or even exacerbate the course of the disease in people with Parkinson's disease. These toxins are usually not edible and need to be identified.
In summary, for patients with Parkinson's disease, it is necessary to maintain a high level of vigilance before eating apples and some other fruits, choose fruits that contain less specific vitamins, and avoid excessive consumption of fruits containing oxidases, as well as fruits such as pineapple and mango, otherwise it will cause adverse effects on the disease. In order to ensure that the diet goes hand in hand with health, it is recommended that patients should still follow a special diet plan under the guidance of a medical professional.
