What will happen to your body if you eat kiwi every day?

Kiwis are called “kiwis” because their fruit is covered with brown hairs, which resembles the kiwi bird of New Zealand. It is a fruit that has a high content of vitamin C and is also rich in other nutrients. There are 'Gold Kiwis', which are an improved green kiwi, and 'Red Kiwis' these days also exist. In general, even if you eat apples and bananas every day, you don't eat kiwi every day. However, according to a recent study, eating kiwi every day causes changes in the body.

 

 

According to a study published earlier this year in the Nutrients journal, runners who ate two kiwis a day for a month had less oxidative damage from intense physical training. Athletes who train at high intensity every day use large amounts of oxygen when exercising. While oxygen is essential for muscle contraction, breathing too much can increase free radicals in your body. As a result, oxidative stress occurs, which is an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants in the body.

 

 

◇ What is oxidative stress?

 

Over time, oxidative stress can damage DNA as well as fats and proteins that are essential for our body. As a result, a variety of health problems can occur, including high blood pressure, diabetes, arteriosclerosis, and even Alzheimer's. In addition to high-intensity training, oxidative stress can be caused by eating a diet high in pesticides, airborne pollutants, and even sugar, fat, and alcohol sprayed on fruits and vegetables.

 

Because there are many factors that can cause an increase in free radicals, it is important to eat foods rich in antioxidants to restore balance. Kiwi is a very useful fruit for increasing antioxidant levels.

 

 

For the study, half of the participants were instructed to eat two kiwis a day for two months, and the other half did not consume kiwi at all. Research found that people who ate kiwi twice a day reduced the harmful effects of oxidative stress by increasing antioxidant levels.

 

 

Kiwis have antioxidant properties that can fight oxidative DNA damage, and the antioxidants and vitamin C found in kiwis may help treat asthma.

 

Eating the same fruit every day can be tiring, so it is recommended to eat a variety of fruits every week. Even if you're not an athlete, kiwi can help control oxidative stress.
