Chen Zhidao, a family medicine physician at Yadong Hospital, said that kiwifruit contains high-quality nutrients with low GI and high CP value. It is not only rich in water-soluble fiber and fruit enzymes, but also can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and help digestion. It can be said to be the "strongest fruit".
1. Improve lung function Kiwi contains a lot of vitamin C and antioxidants. A study in 2000 found that people who often eat fresh fruits rich in vitamin C are of great benefit to the improvement of lung function.
2. Reduce the risk of illness. Oxidative stress can lead to DNA damage and may also lead to health problems. For example, colorectal cancer is closely related to oxidative DNA damage. Antioxidants in kiwifruit can reduce the possibility of oxidative stress.

A study of 20 14 found that eating three kiwifruits a day can lower blood pressure, and its effect is more than eating an apple a day. In the long run, it may also mean reducing the risk of diseases caused by high blood pressure, such as stroke or heart disease.
6. Reducing blood coagulation Kiwi can also reduce the problem of blood coagulation. A study found that eating two or three kiwifruits a day has a significant effect on reducing the risk of blood coagulation, and kiwifruit can also reduce blood lipids. Researchers say these effects are similar to taking aspirin every day, so you can improve your heart health in a healthier way.
7. Protecting eyesight A study found that eating 3 servings of fruit a day can reduce the chance of macular disease by 36%. Kiwi contains a high dose of lutein, which helps to reduce the chance of macular disease.
Although kiwifruit is safe for most people, you should also pay attention to whether you are allergic to kiwifruit. Usually, if you are allergic to latex, wheat, figs or poppy seeds, the risk of being allergic to kiwifruit is higher. Allergic symptoms include itchy throat, swollen tongue, dysphagia, vomiting and urticaria.
