Do you feel tired even when you have not done a spot of work
but have been sitting or lying around? Do
you feel lazy and not interested in the affairs of your family? Do you think your memory is not as good as it
generally is ? Or are you depressed
without a cause? So much so that you do
not want to live anymore and even
contemplate suicide?
If you are experiencing the above mentioned symptoms, most
likely your nerves are sending out distress signals that their energy is
discharged and they need to
be recharged-a job done by a substance called glutamic acid. This chemical
controls the wear and tear and the energizing of the entire nervous system, and
when it is not synthesized well in the body, the nerves send out these messages.
To counter all those unpleasant symptoms try taking an apple . This fruit has certain chemicals
that ensure perfect synthesis of glutamic acid
which will maintain the health of your nervous system with a high level
of energy and enthusiasm.
Not just for the nerves, apple is a fruit with many other wonderful benefits. First, its low
PH stimulates saliva secretion which
cleanses the mouth and prevents gum diseases. Secondly, as it is highly
alkaline, if taken after a non-veg meal, it prevents fermentation of food in the
digestive tract which in turn counters gas, acidity, and stomach ulcer. And lastly,
it prevents and controls diarrhea. Its pectin
swells up and engulfs the diarrhea causing bacteria while its malic acid
inhibits bacterial growth.
So take an apple everyday and feel the difference. The
person who started ‘An apple a day…’ was not exaggerating!
