Kiwi is an exotic fruit that can be found on the shelves almost all year round. Due to its unique composition, kiwi is an excellent alternative to synthetic vitamins.
The composition of the fruit is very diverse, which explains its beneficial effects on the body. Only one fruit covers the body's daily need for vitamin C (ascorbic acid), which means: it strengthens the immune system, reduces the likelihood of colds and infectious diseases, and prevents the development of atherosclerosis.
In addition to ascorbic acid, kiwi contains vitamin A, which has a beneficial effect on the retina and vision in general. B vitamins ensure the normal functioning of the nervous system, help fight depression and chronic fatigue, and improve the quality of sleep.
People with increased mental and physical stress are advised to eat 1-2 fruits daily.
Vitamin PP (folic acid) is indispensable for women planning pregnancy.
There are also trace elements necessary for the body in kiwi. Iron is involved in the processes of hematopoiesis. Thanks to him, the normal level of hemoglobin in the blood is maintained. Potassium and magnesium help to improve the functioning of the cardiovascular system. Zinc has a positive effect on skin condition, improves complexion, and prevents the appearance of early wrinkles. 1-2 fruits will be a great snack for those who are watching their weight.
Kiwi contains a lot of fiber, which means it quickly makes you feel full without burdening the body with empty calories. To improve the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract and with chronic constipation, it is better to eat kiwi if it is not peeled, not forgetting to wash it well. The daily rate is 2-3 fruits per day.
Contraindications to the use of kiwi are the increased acidity of the stomach and individual intolerance.
