My mother’s health was in poor condition—she frequently suffered from dizziness, nausea, irregular menstruation, abdominal pain due to prolonged constipation, and pale skin covered in acne.
“My aunt, who is a doctor, noticed that my mother’s health was deteriorating. When my mother shared her symptoms, my aunt advised her to eat one steamed apple every morning to improve her digestive system and overall well-being. At first, my mother was skeptical, but I insisted on preparing the steamed apple following my aunt’s recipe for two weeks,” said Ms. Lin.

Amazing Health Benefits After Two Weeks
“After just two weeks of eating steamed apples every morning, my mother noticed significant improvements in her health. First, her stomach pain and constipation improved drastically. Her skin became rosy and smoother, and her acne nearly disappeared. I couldn’t believe my eyes—everything was amazing!”
Why Are Steamed Apples So Beneficial?
According to a doctor at Aphrodite Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic in Taiwan, apples have a warm nature with a sweet and sour taste, which helps: Quench thirst Warm the lungs Reduce anxiety and stress Strengthen the digestive system
Steaming apples increases their polyphenol content, which enhances their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. This can reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
Additionally, the heating process dissolves pectin fiber, improving digestive function, preventing constipation, and aiding in weight management. Pectin also helps stabilize blood sugar levels and lower bad cholesterol (LDL).
The Importance of Keeping the Apple Peel
Nutritionist Li Yuehui from Taiwan advises that apples should be steamed with their peel. The polyphenol content in apple peels is six times higher than in the flesh, providing greater health benefits.
Apple peels are also rich in Vitamin A and Vitamin C, which help: Boost the immune system Stimulate antibody production Protect against bacterial and viral infections
Additional Benefits of Adding Red Dates & Goji Berries
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, red dates and goji berries are known for: Nourishing the blood and lungs Relieving fatigue Improving digestion Strengthening bones and tendons Calming the nervous system
Final Verdict
“Apples are a common fruit, and most people eat them raw or make them into juice. However, steamed apples provide even more health benefits,” said the doctor.
So, why not try steaming apples and experience the incredible health improvements for yourself?
