"King of Fruits" kiwi is the nutritional champion among 27 common fruits, according to a study by Rutgers University. The research shows that kiwi contains a more comprehensive range of nutrients per 100 grams of flesh compared to other fruits, while being low in calories. The vitamins and minerals in kiwi are particularly beneficial for the health of pregnant mothers and babies:
Actinidin: effectively breaks down food into easily absorbable amino acids in the intestines, making it easier for mothers and babies to absorb essential nutrients. It also helps promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut, purifying the body and preventing the absorption of waste.
Dietary fiber: promotes intestinal motility and absorbs water, helping to soften the stool and facilitate smoother bowel movements.
Higher levels of vitamin C than any other fruit: vitamin C helps promote the production of collagen, firming the skin and reducing the occurrence of stretch marks during pregnancy. It also enhances the immune system, allowing expectant mothers to have a healthier pregnancy.
Calcium and magnesium: help stabilize the heart and nerves of pregnant women, assisting in relaxation and emotional stability, improving sleep quality, and alleviating issues such as acid reflux and leg cramps.
Potassium: balances the body's electrolytes and eliminates edema, relieving discomfort such as bloating in expectant mothers.
