@thestomachdoc: Stewed apples might be one of the easiest ways to enjoy apples 🍎 #duet with @Carleigh Bodrug - plantyou If raw apples leave you feeling bloated or gassy, try cooking them. Heat softens the apple and changes its pectin-rich cell structure, which can make cooked apples easier to tolerate and digest for some people. I like to chop up 1 apple, add 1 teaspoon honey, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, and a splash of water, then cook until soft and almost caramelized. Apples really are an underrated super fruit. They’re rich in pectin, a soluble and prebiotic fiber that can support your gut microbiome, improve constipation and bowel regularity, and help feed beneficial gut bacteria. Regular apple and whole-fruit intake has also been associated with better metabolic health and a lower risk of conditions including fatty liver, while fiber-rich diets and greater fruit intake are associated with a lower risk of colon cancer. Put your stewed apples over Greek yogurt, oatmeal, overnight oats, cottage cheese, pancakes, or toast. Add walnuts, chia seeds, granola, or nut butter for an easy healthy breakfast, snack, or dessert. #healthy #healthyrecipe
