Why is Kiwi considered the King of Fruits?

Not only is it a fruit with an attractive aroma and color, kiwi is also known as the king of fruits, because of its excellent nutritional content and the unexpected benefits it brings to human health and beauty.

Kiwi, originally called gooseberry, originated in China, but when it was brought to New Zealand in 1904, it grew and became the "national fruit" of this country. According to scientific research, eating just 2 kiwis can provide you with 1/3 of the energy needed for a day.

Vitamin C “Champion”

Until now, oranges have been known as the number 1 fruit in providing vitamin C. However, studies have shown that kiwis have twice the vitamin C content of oranges (per 100g of fruit). Therefore, every day, you only need to eat one kiwi to get enough vitamin C. Vitamin C strengthens the immune system to help the body fight disease, strengthens collagen fibers to help the skin maintain elasticity. For patients who have just undergone surgery, Vitamin C helps strengthen blood vessels to help wounds heal quickly.

Helps brighten eyes, prevents vision loss

Kiwis contain beta-carotene which helps improve eyesight and boost immunity. Lutein and zeaxanthin help prevent macular degeneration, which reduces vision and leads to blindness, a very common disease in old age.

Good for the heart

Kiwis are low in cholesterol and fat, but high in vitamin C, natural fiber, magnesium and lutein, an antioxidant that is effective in reducing the risk of cancer and heart disease.

Kiwis are also known as a natural source of aspirin, which is great for the cardiovascular system in preventing blood clots. They also contain many super nutrients that make the cardiovascular system work effectively, including: vitamin C, E, polyphenols, magnesium, potassium, vitamin B and copper.

Good for the intestines

Kiwi is rich in fiber, each kiwi only contains about 45 calories, 1/3 of which is pectin - this is a substance that helps laxative and prevent constipation. Nutritional studies have shown that eating kiwi regularly helps reduce bloating. In particular, this fruit also has an effective weight loss effect if eaten regularly.

Beauty elixir

Thanks to its very high antioxidant content (lutein): (golden kiwi: 310mg/100g, green kiwi: 120mg/100g), kiwi gives you soft skin and smooth, shiny hair. Rich in minerals, kiwi forms a thin film on the hair surface, not only helping hair resist air pollution but also keeping hair moisturized. Therefore, drinking a glass of kiwi juice every day will help hair growth very well.

Kiwi also contains substances that help whiten teeth, treat freckles and inhibit skin oxidation, eliminate dark pigments to help brighten, rosy and smooth skin. Vitamin C in kiwi has the effect of restoring the immune system, regenerating skin cells and preventing wrinkles, prolonging youth. In addition, kiwi is also a miraculous skin care mask for all skin types, rejuvenating the skin extremely effectively.
