Not only are they unable to return home, they also have to bear huge medical expenses. In order to actively prevent muscle atrophy, Dr. Christopher Adam, an expert specializing in hormones on the body's influence mechanism at the University of Iowa in the United States, began to develop a drug that can make muscles strong and help older people to reduce the risk of fractures. He studied 1300 compounds in detail. According to the principles of gene change during muscle atrophy, he hopes to find a compound that can fight muscle atrophy. As a result, he accidentally discovered this “very interesting compoundâ€â€”a bear. Acid. The researchers added a small amount of ursolic acid to the rats' daily diet and conducted a series of health assessments.

The antioxidant capacity of peel of ordinary size apple is quite similar. The antioxidant capacity of 800 mg of vitamin C. Octacosanol in apple peel also has the effect of anti-fatigue and physical strength. Apple peel can inhibit the enzymatic activity of tartar and the growth of bacteria in the oral cavity. It has anti-corrosion effect and can protect teeth. Can also make the skin white and tender, prevent the formation of melanin, beauty ergonomics. By extracting bioactive substances from apple peels to develop functional foods, apple skin meal is a valuable food additive that can be used to produce fortified foods.
