Kiwi is not only a delicious dessert, but also a very useful health product that can be called a superfood.
Oku.Az it is reported with reference to Gazeta.ru.
Russian endocrinologist Ekaterina Kazachkova said that, first of all, kiwi contains a large amount of vitamin C.
“A medium-sized kiwi contains more vitamin C than an orange. After all, vitamin C is the basis of our immunity. It helps the body fight viruses and bacteria, strengthens vascular walls and even participates in the synthesis of collagen, which is very important for our skin,” said the expert.
Secondly, kiwi is rich in fiber. Consequently, this product is useful for the intestines. As the doctor explained, fiber is food for the beneficial bacteria that live in the intestine. It helps them multiply and maintain a healthy balance of microflora.
“In addition, kiwi contains the enzyme actinide. This enzyme helps to digest proteins better, which is especially important for those who pay attention to their nutrition and try to eat more protein. In addition, kiwi can help in the fight against excess “It is low in calories, but gives a feeling of satiety due to its high fiber content,” added the endocrinologist.
The expert also talked about the proper use of kiwi to get maximum benefits. First of all, he noted that many people peel kiwis, but in fact it is the peel that contains many useful substances.
“Of course, not everyone likes its texture, but if you can tolerate it you will get more benefits,” emphasizes the doctor.
Another interesting fact: kiwi is perfectly compatible with other products. For example, it can be added to salads, “smoothies” or even used as a marinade for meat. Actinide, which we talked about before, softens the fibers of the meat and makes the food more tender.
“However, we must not forget about the size. Like any product, it is better to take kiwi in a reasonable quantity. Two or three fruits a day will be enough to obtain all the useful substances and not overload the body,” says Kazachkova. .
