Kiwi is known as the "king of fruits," but it's not suitable for everyone. Some people who focus on health should not eat too much kiwi. Additionally, there are specific considerations for eating kiwi. Let's take a look!
Kiwi
Kiwi relieves constipation but may cause "heartburn"
Kiwi can relieve constipation and is rich in vitamin C, earning it the title "king of fruits." However, kiwi is considered a "cold" natured food. Overconsumption can damage the spleen and stomach's yang energy, leading to symptoms like abdominal pain and diarrhea.
Those with a sensitive stomach should eat less kiwi
Furthermore, the large amount of vitamin C and pectin in kiwi can increase stomach acid and burden the stomach, causing symptoms such as abdominal pain, acid reflux, and heartburn. These symptoms can worsen in cold weather. During the current cold season, patients with stomach ailments (spleen and stomach yang deficiency) should eat less or no kiwi at all.
