Orange is an important ally in strengthening the immune system. One of the greatest sources of vitamin C was nicknamed by the Greeks and Latins as the “golden apple” and in Spain there is even a museum dedicated to this fruit, such is its importance for health. Here, orange is the second most consumed fruit across the country. However, there is another that has twice as much vitamin C as orange and many health benefits.
We talk about kiwi. This fruit, originally from southern China, contains important properties for caring for bones, joints and cartilage. In addition to having twice as much vitamin C as oranges, kiwi is rich in fiber, which is why its consumption is ideal for combating constipation. Also to combat digestive problems, kiwi can be a solution.
Correio da Manhã also mentions that, alongside fiber and vitamin C, kiwi is also rich in potassium, essential for balancing joint tension and cardiovascular health. The enzyme actinidin, also present in the fruit of Asian origin, promises to help the body break down food, facilitating digestion and balancing intestinal health.
Although kiwi is more expensive than orange, sometimes the first fruit can be an alternative to the second, especially because kiwi promises to slow down aging.
Therefore, if you start to feel less elasticity and pain in your bones and joints, then you can start consuming kiwi to complement the intake of vitamin supplements often prescribed by doctors.
