I remember the huge excitement when Ambrosia NFT came out. I also remember that famous poster that appeared in various threads on the forum:
Thank you very much, Captain, for upholding the Scandinavian tradition. The magic of the north is irresistibly tied to the famous apples of youth, the golden nordic apples. The apples themselves are completely connected with the goddess of spring, Idunn. And they cannot simply be separated from her.
She is an expression of spring and renewal. When after winter, when all nature begins to bloom. When a warm and gentle breeze blows, when the mood is lifted.
That’s what Idunn is.
It is interesting that Idunn keeps the apples of inspiration and youth and at the same time is married to the god of musicians and poets. Moreover, in this context Idunn’s connection with the apples of immortality takes on a special meaning. The Latin aphorism “Ars longa, vita brevis” - “Life is short, art is eternal” comes to mind. Maybe the key to true immortality is our skill and ability to realize our creative ideas? Or maybe we need to become immortal in order to have time to realize everything?
Idunn (her name means “rejuvenating”) is the goddess of Asgard, keeper of the famous golden Norse apples of immortality (=longevity). The goddess of spring and guardian of eternal youth, health and strength of the Scandinavian gods and goddesses. Scandinavian gods, born of mixed marriages between gods and giants, gods and humans, did not possess immortality, but thanks to this magical fruit they managed to delay the approach of old age and disease and they remained energetic, beautiful and young long centuries.
This goddess can be approached for help in healing any illness. In addition, she helps to get the body in shape, get rid of bad eating habits, achieve greater efficiency from the diet, go to a healthy diet.
Modern magicians revere Idunn as the goddess of gardening. If you have a personal farm, plantations of vegetables and fruits - Idunn will contribute to the harvest. Just ask her to bless your personal garden and fruit trees.

Symbolism & mythological journey (description skipped)
The “apple” concepts in various cultures and traditions are detailed and described. The concept of Greek apples, Paradise apples / Apples of Eden, and so on.
Physiological benefits of apples (effects are amplified)
Not surprisingly, the apple was associated with youth, love and fertility. The useful properties of the apple are numerous and varied. It is especially known that it prolongs life by helping digestion, liver function, and is a good source of vitamins and potassium.
Apples are an excellent source of boron. They contain pectin and are brimming with powerful antioxidants. They contain gallic acid, procyanidins, chloridzine, and quercetin. Apples are an exceptional source of beneficial bacteria.
They are rich in vitamin C and E, potassium, magnesium, fiber, antioxidants and ursolic acid (a compound with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-apoptotic and anticancer properties). Incidentally, most well-known apple brands retain phytochemical nutrient levels even after 52 weeks of storage under controlled conditions. After 200 days of storage, apples have the same level of phenols (compounds with powerful antioxidant properties) as when first picked.
Freshly picked apples are considered the healthiest. It is in them that the concentration of useful substances reaches its maximum.
- Pectin, which improves intestinal activity and helps cleanse it of toxins;
- antioxidants that slow down oxidative processes in the human body;
- Tannins, which have an anti-inflammatory effect in diseases of the cardiovascular and genitourinary systems in both women and men;
- Tannins that prevent the precipitation of salts, which in turn is an excellent prevention of urolithiasis;
- source of minerals: potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, chlorine, sulfur, copper. In the largest amounts represented by iron, responsible for blood quality and calcium, required for the musculoskeletal system and cardiovascular system.
The antioxidant activity found in an apple with an intact peel is equal in strength to 1500 mg of vitamin C.
Apples are one of the best foods that contain boron, a vital trace mineral. Benefits of boron: improves brain function, increases athletic performance, helps with arthritis, strengthens the immune system, wound healing, for bone health.
Apples are a rich source of pectin compared to other fruits and vegetables. Pectin (fiber) is a special type of dietary fiber that has beneficial properties for the digestive system and also has the following health benefits: reduces high sugar levels, is anti-inflammatory, regulates cholesterol levels, and prevents colon cancer.
Scientific studies show the following benefits of pectin: immunomodulator (regulates the immune system); anticoagulant (can stop blood clots); anti-cancer agent; anti-diabetic agent; antioxidant.
Apples are full of beneficial antioxidants. Here’s a list of some of them most commonly found in apples: quercetin glycosides, vitamin C, procyanidin B, chlorogenic acid, epicatechin, flouretin glycosides. Other well-studied antioxidants are rhamnoside, cyanidin-3-galactoside, coumaric acid, gallic acid, floridzine.
Some of them are described below:
Gallic acid is the second strongest antioxidant in the world after hydroxytyrosol. Gallic acid has many beneficial effects: can fight bacteria and viruses, anti-cancer, protects against gastrointestinal diseases, helps with cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, is anti-inflammatory.
Procyanidins are components found in apple polyphenols (compounds that act as antioxidants). There is evidence that these particular apple polyphenols are great helpers: anti-tumor, anti-allergy, anti-obesity, anti-fatigue, anti-caries, life extension. Studies show that these beneficial properties of polyphenols are due to the procyanidins found in apples.
Apples contain floridzine. Researchers discovered it in 1835 in numerous parts of the apple tree.
Floridzin is a potent inhibitor of sodium-dependent glucose transporter 1 (SGLT1) and a major dihydrochalcon (DHC) found in apples. DHC has many beneficial properties, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial (fights viruses and bacteria), cytotoxic (kills harmful cells) and antispasmodic (prevents muscle cramps).
SGLT1 is a glucose (sugar) transporter in the small intestine. Inhibition of SGLT1 helps control hyperglycemia (high sugar levels) in people with diabetes.
Apples are rich in quercetin and its derivatives. Useful properties of quercetin: anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antioxidant, anticarcinogenic (prevents cancer), ergogenic (may increase physical performance), nootropic (may improve mental performance), psychostimulant (stimulates the central nervous system).
Apples are an incredible source of beneficial bacteria. Studies emphasize that the bacteria are made up of different strains, making them more broadly applicable to human health. It should be noted that these bacteria correspond to the basic bacteria that are already naturally present in your gut.
Apple seeds are also high in antioxidants.
The main phenolic compound in the seeds has been found to be chloridzin and floridzin (mentioned earlier). They are great for controlling sugar levels, heart, cholesterol and more.
In our culture it is common to say that inner beauty is important, but in fact the social value is in appearance
