Kiwifruit has an aromatic scent and is rich in nutrients, earning it the reputation of "king of fruits" and making it a favorite among consumers. Two kiwifruits contain one-third of the daily required nutrients, making them the most nutritious and comprehensive of all fruits. Regular consumption of kiwifruit is not only beneficial for health but also has unexpected effects on whitening, nourishing the skin, and weight loss, making it especially popular among women. However, kiwifruit is considered cold in nature and may not be suitable for everyone.
Who should not eat kiwifruit?
Although kiwifruit is good, it is not suitable for everyone. Due to its cold nature, people with a weak spleen and stomach should consume it with caution. Those with chronic diarrhea and frequent urination should avoid it. Patients with excessive menstrual flow and threatened abortion should also refrain from eating it.
A survey in the UK has shown that some children who eat too much kiwifruit can suffer from severe allergic reactions, leading to even collapse. However, there have been no reported deaths from eating kiwifruit. It is recommended that parents press kiwifruit into fresh juice for children to eat, which is safer than feeding it to them in slices.
Kiwifruit is a low-calorie, low-fat food rich in dietary fiber. Each kiwifruit contains only 45 calories, and one-third of the fiber it contains is pectin, which can help moisten the intestines and promote bowel movements. It can quickly remove harmful metabolic waste accumulated in the body, effectively preventing and treating constipation and hemorrhoids. Long-term consumption can also prevent obesity.
One of the most notable features of kiwifruit is its extremely high content of Vitamin C, which is several to tens of times higher than in fruits like citrus and apples. The reason kiwifruit can whiten the skin and remove spots is that its Vitamin C can effectively inhibit the oxidation of dopaquinone in the skin, converting dark-colored oxidative pigments into light-colored reduced pigments, interfering with melanin formation, preventing pigment deposition, and thus keeping the skin fair and clear.
Therefore, expectant mothers who love beauty can eat more kiwifruit in moderation, so they don't have to worry about their fair faces being "invaded" by chloasma during pregnancy.
