Losing weight is a process that involves eating healthy and exercising properly and regularly. In the diet, fruits play an important role in losing those extra kilos, one of them is kiwi.
According to historians, “the kiwi has its origin in some climbing trees in the forests on the banks of the Changjiang River, in northeastern China. Wild varieties were consumed there centuries ago, but they were only cultivated on a small scale because they were not considered productive or easy to collect,” explains the Mind Body website.
At first it was called ‘monkey peach’, “because the vine plant ascended to the tops of the trees,” as reported by the aforementioned portal. Later, Jack Turner, a food distributor in the United States, named it kiwi, a Maori term for a small bird, because of its resemblance to a bird that is a symbol of New Zealand.
Kiwi is rich in potassium (295 mg / 100 g) which “favors the elimination of fluids and balances the effect of salt. That is why it is advisable in weight loss diets, during pregnancy and in cases of hypertension and heart failure,” highlights Body Mente.
On the Cocina Fácil website they indicate that kiwi is ideal for diets that aim to help lose weight, since this fruit “contains a large percentage of water and an intermediate caloric level, which facilitates weight loss since it is feel satiated easily.”
Collagen is the protein present in a large part of the body, “being responsible for keeping the skin firm and flexible while guaranteeing the health of muscles, bones and tendons,” as clarified by the unCOMO portal.
As we age and age, the body stops producing more collagen, which is why it is necessary to resort to other alternatives to provide the body with this protein.
Fruits also provide nutrients and antioxidants that help take care of the skin despite the passing of the years.

“In the list of fruits to increase collagen, those with a greater contribution of vitamin C are essential, since this nutrient is essential to produce this protein that helps us keep our skin, bones and muscles healthy,” highlights unCOMO, which includes kiwi, as one of the main fruits that provide vitamin C. In addition to the aforementioned fruit, the aforementioned portal also recommends the consumption of oranges, tangerines, grapefruit or lemon, pineapple, mango, guava and papaya .
According to The Beauty Effect portal, orange and kiwi are two favorite fruits in anti-aging issues, since they provide a significant amount of antioxidants and a lot of vitamin C and minerals. Additionally, this website notes that “both contain a very small amount of calories. It is best to eat them on an empty stomach, since they will have a greater impact on the body. “Drink an orange juice in the morning, half an hour later you should eat some seeds or dried fruits and then eat a kiwi.”
