To keep the body healthy and fit, regular intake of nutritious food is required. The body gets essential nutrients from seasonal fruits, green vegetables, nuts and seeds. Vitamin-C is one of the elements that we need the most.
Vitamin-C is considered very beneficial in increasing the immunity power of the body. Not only this, its antioxidant properties also protect the body from many types of chronic diseases.
You must have often heard that citrus fruits, especially orange-lemon, pineapple, are rich in vitamin-C. About 53 mg of vitamin C can be obtained from 100 grams of orange. But do you know that there is a fruit which contains twice as much vitamin-C as orange? If you consume it for a few months, the risk of infectious diseases can be reduced to a great extent.
Kiwi fruit is very beneficial
The fruit we are talking about is kiwi. Daily consumption of kiwi fruit has many health benefits. Kiwi fruit contains twice as much vitamin C as oranges, i.e. 100 grams of kiwi fruit gives you 93 mg of vitamin C. It can be very beneficial for you in reducing blood clotting (they are as effective as aspirin for heart health), reducing cholesterol and protecting against cancer risks due to its antioxidant content.
It also contains fiber which is essential for controlling both diabetes and cholesterol.
Eat kiwi to avoid cancer
Studies show that diets rich in carotenoids can protect against both cancer and heart disease, kiwi is a fruit rich in this nutrient. A review of studies found that being rich in carotenoids, vitamin C and vitamin E, consuming kiwi can not only protect against cancer but can also be beneficial in reducing the risk of death due to cancer. It also reveals effective anti-cancer properties.
Beneficial fruit for the heart
Kiwi fruit consumption is considered beneficial for heart health. Studies show that eating kiwi can help reduce other risk factors for heart disease, including high blood pressure. A study looked at the effects of eating kiwi in people suffering from blood pressure. People who ate two to three kiwis a day for 8 weeks had significantly controlled blood pressure levels. Consuming this fruit can also be beneficial in reducing cholesterol.
You can easily fulfill the need for vitamin C
Kiwi is rich in vitamin C. This is a nutrient that helps protect your cells from oxidative damage and plays many other important roles in the body. Studies show that eating kiwi for two months can overcome the deficiency of vitamin C in your body. Having vitamin C in the body means that you can be protected against infectious diseases.
