No. 100, Health & fitness : Health benefits of Kiwi. (ISL)

Hello. Greetings from Boonary TV. In today's topic of health and fitness we will see the health benefits of kiwi. What is this small fruit power-packed with that aids to our good health? Watch ahead. The kiwifruit is commonly called kiwi which are famously cultivated in New Zealand and is now grown in different places, but it was originally from China. The outer covering of the kiwi has a fuzzy peel that is somewhat brown in colour and green flesh inside which is sweet and tangy in taste. You can actually eat the peel too but many people prefer to discard it. They just eat the green flesh, which has small black seeds that are edible. Kiwis are not really very cheap, but they are packed with plenty of health benefits. If we compare the nutrient contents of 27 different fruits with kiwi, it stands at number one. What are some of its health benefits? Take a look. Kiwi contains abundant amounts of Vitamin C, which stimulates the body’s immune response to help fight diseases. Vitamin C in kiwis has been linked to the reduction of wheezing symptoms in some asthma patients. This is especially true of children, who seem to benefit the most from the consumption of kiwis. One study revealed the many health benefits of eating kiwis. One finding was that among those who consumed kiwi daily their lung function had a beneficial effect. Both in its tough skin and in its inner flesh, the kiwifruit contains high amounts of dietary fiber. Fiber can help reduce constipation and a variety of other gastrointestinal issues and discomfort. Thus it works for digestive health. Kiwis can also help us to manage our blood pressure. Many people get a heart attack. Why? What is the underlying cause? The problem is the flow of blood in their body is not smooth, which means they have a problem in their blood pressure. Since kiwis help to control blood pressure, it aids in healthy functioning of the heart too. What other benefits of kiwis do we have? Take a look. A research was conducted about health benefits of kiwi and it was found that eating kiwis regularly significantly reduces the risk of blood clotting. How? Let me explain. Blood is liquid in form in our body and it flows through all parts, but sometimes what can happen? Instead of a flowy liquid, it changes into a gel because of the fat accumulation. Due to this, blood is not able to flow freely and this causes blood clotting. For this reason, in the opinion of some doctors, in order to treat blood clotting, they suggest medications as blood thinners. These help to reduce the clotting due to the thickness of the blood. Researchers said that the effects of having a kiwi were similar to those of a daily dose of a blood thinner tablet. Thus it helps improve heart health. Not just these but kiwis also help to reduce vision loss and improve skin health too. Kiwis truly are very beneficial for our good health. Eat them raw, or make a fruit salad or take it in the form of a smoothie. Whichever way you like!
