After intense workouts, it is necessary to consume two kiwis per day, which will help to effectively reduce the negative effects of oxidative processes in the muscles, which lead to cell damage and an increase in the risks of cardiovascular diseases. informs Arabic edition Sabq.
The publication cites a study at Japan’s Kagawa University, in which a group of 15 runners were given two kiwis a day, while the other 15 did not. It turned out that people in the group that ate kiwi had a decrease in the negative effects of high-intensity training on their bodies.
The reason for this is the high level of antioxidants that protect the body from the oxidative process, which has a positive effect on health. In addition, the fruit contains polyphenols that help control blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. Vitamin C, which is found in sufficient quantities in kiwi, also has a positive effect on tissue regeneration.
