Digestive machinery works more effectively thanks to kiwi
Not many people know that just two small kiwis a day can help the intestines function twice as smoothly as when eating oranges, thanks to their rich and insoluble fiber content. Kiwi helps soften stools, reduce bloating, and stimulate the development of the intestinal microflora.
According to nutritionist Aviv Joshua (USA), kiwi is a fruit that is "rarely able to affect many organs at the same time, from the digestive to cardiovascular and immune system". The fiber and vitamin C in kiwi not only support the intestines but also protect blood vessel walls, reduce inflammation and prevent bad cholesterol accumulation.
International synthetic studies also show that eating kiwi every day helps increase good cholesterol (HDL) and reduce triglycerides, the type of fat that causes blood vessel blockage. Maintaining this habit for 1 - 2 months can significantly improve heart health.
Increase immunity, brighten eyes, support people with diabetes
Not stopping there, kiwi is also considered a natural shield of the immune system. The vitamin C content is twice as high as oranges, helping to stimulate immune cells to function more strongly and shorten recovery time after disease.
Only two kiwis a day can replace regular vitamin C supplements, emphasizes Aviv Joshua.
Kiwis also contain lutein, an antioxidant that helps prevent macular degeneration and cataracts, two leading causes of vision loss in the elderly.
In particular, for people with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes, kiwi is a smart choice thanks to its low glycemic index, helping to stabilize blood sugar without causing sudden increases.
If you want to refresh your menu, you can eat kiwi in the form of fresh juice, which retains more vitamin C, fiber and flavonoids than pasteurized juice.
From the intestines to the heart, from the skin to the eyes, kiwis prove that a small fruit can have a big impact on health. With a pleasant sweet and sour taste, kiwi is not only a dessert, but also a reliable companion for a modern healthy lifestyle.
