The Korean traditional holiday, Chuseok, is just a day away. During Chuseok, people tend to eat more high-calorie and high-protein foods such as meat, jeon (pancakes), and rice cakes than usual. However, overeating greasy and calorie-dense holiday foods can impair digestive functions, leading to bloating and abdominal distension. To prevent this, it is advisable to start by eating fresh vegetables and fruits rich in dietary fiber to reduce hunger, then gradually move on to high-calorie foods. Consuming foods that aid digestion can also be helpful. A prime example is kiwi. Known as a natural nutritional supplement, 'Green Kiwi' and 'Sun Gold Kiwi' can improve digestion and reduce holiday fatigue even with just one a day, helping to counteract the digestive decline caused by overeating. There are slight differences in the benefits of the two kiwis, so choosing the right one can be beneficial.

Green kiwi rich in dietary fiber helps with intestinal health

The green kiwi with its green flesh contains a natural protein-degrading enzyme called 'actinidin,' which aids in the digestion and absorption of proteins, reducing bloating. According to a research team from Massey University in New Zealand, the actinidin component in kiwi increases the digestion ability of animal proteins (beef) by 40% and legume proteins by 27%. Additionally, green kiwi, rich in dietary fiber and plant nutrients called polyphenols, acts as a prebiotic that feeds beneficial bacteria, contributing to improved gut health. Furthermore, green kiwi is recognized as a low-FODMAP food by the renowned Australian Monash University. FODMAPs refer to oligosaccharides, disaccharides, and monosaccharides that are not absorbed in the intestine and ferment there. Since FODMAP components can cause diarrhea and abdominal pain, it is advisable for sensitive individuals to consume low-FODMAP foods such as kiwi, grapes, cabbage, and spinach.

Boost your immunity and reduce stress with Sun Gold Kiwi

Golden-colored Sun Gold Kiwis are rich in vitamin C, an essential nutrient for our body. They can help restore immune strength weakened by stress and fatigue during holidays and bring psychological stability. A deficiency in vitamin C leads to the accumulation of active oxygen, which lowers immunity and causes fatigue. Therefore, proper supplementation is necessary, but since vitamin C is not synthesized in our bodies, it must be obtained through food. Sun Gold Kiwis contain 152 mg of vitamin C per 100 grams, enough to meet the daily recommended intake of 100 mg. Additionally, Sun Gold Kiwis contain serotonin, the happiness hormone, and tryptophan, the primary precursor for serotonin, which help alleviate fatigue and depression. In fact, a study by a team from Otago University in New Zealand found that patients with mood disorders such as depression who consumed two Sun Gold Kiwis daily for four weeks experienced a 38% reduction in fatigue, a 34% reduction in depression, and a 31% increase in vitality.

Hypoglycemic fruit kiwi, a customized snack for diabetics

People with diabetes are particularly cautious during holiday periods. During holidays spent with family and relatives, even those who usually maintain stable blood sugar levels can become lax. At this time, kiwi is a healthy snack that helps regulate blood sugar. The glycemic index (GI) of green kiwi and Sun Gold kiwi are 51 and 48 respectively, both below the threshold of 55 for low glycemic foods. Consuming one kiwi before a meal can reduce the spike in blood sugar caused by carbohydrates. In fact, studies have shown that adults at high risk of diabetes who ate two kiwis daily experienced improvements in metabolism and cardiovascular health. Additionally, the potassium-rich content of kiwi promotes sodium excretion, which helps maintain normal blood pressure.
