Kiwifruit is fragrant, nutritious, and known as the "king of fruits," making it a favorite among consumers. Two kiwifruits contain one-third of the daily nutritional requirement, making them the most nutritious and well-rounded of all fruits. Regular consumption of kiwifruit is not only beneficial for health but also has unexpected effects on skin whitening, beauty, and weight loss, especially favored by women. However, kiwifruit is considered "cold" in nature and is not suitable for everyone.
Kiwifruit is a low-calorie, low-fat food rich in dietary fiber, with each fruit containing only 45 calories. One-third of the fiber in kiwifruit is pectin, which helps to moisten the intestines and promote bowel movements. It can quickly remove harmful metabolic waste from the body, effectively preventing and treating constipation and hemorrhoids. Long-term consumption can also help prevent obesity.
One of the most prominent features of kiwifruit is its extremely high vitamin C content, several to tens of times higher than that in 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 oxidized pigments into reduced light-colored pigments. This interferes with melanin formation, prevents pigment deposition, and thus keeps the skin fair.
Therefore, beauty-conscious expectant mothers can eat more kiwifruit in moderation, so they don't have to worry about their fair faces being "invaded" by chloasma during pregnancy. Who should not eat kiwifruit
Although kiwifruit is good, it is not suitable for everyone. Because kiwifruit is "cold" in nature, people with weak spleen and stomach should consume it with caution. Those with frequent diarrhea and frequent urination should not eat it. Patients with excessive menstrual bleeding and threatened abortion should also avoid it.
A survey in the UK showed that some children who eat too much kiwifruit may experience 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.
