Kiwi
fruit ( Kiwi )
Kiwi fruit is exceptionally high in vitamin
C, in fact it contains even more vitamin C than
an orange.
It also contains high amounts of vitamins
E, A, & K as well as flavonoids, antioxidants, and minerals such as
magnesium, potassium, and iron.
Kiwi is particularly beneficial for the
respiratory system and has been shown to help shorten
the duration of colds as well as to help prevent asthma, wheezing, and
coughing.
Kiwi fruit contains anti-inflammatory properties
which is good for those who suffer with autoimmune disorders such as Lupus,
Fibromyalgia, CFS, and Lyme disease. Kiwi seeds are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids
which are essential for cognitive function and can help prevent the development
of ADHD and autism in children.
Kiwi contains enzymes similar to those in
papaya and pineapple which makes them useful in aiding in digestion and elimination.
Kiwi
fruit has also been shown to help protect DNA from mutating which is an incredible
form of protection against illnesses and diseases such as atherosclerosis, heart disease, osteoarthritis, asthma,
rheumatoid arthritis, and cancer.
Kiwi fruit is also known to help remove excess sodium buildup in the body which can help reduce bloating, swelling, and water
retention.
Kiwi is good for promoting eye health and for
preventing age-related macular degeneration.
It is also highly beneficial for those who
have weak or sensitive immune systems and are useful at keeping ear, nose, and
throat infections at bay.
Kiwi is also great for diabetics by helping to
keep their blood sugar levels under control and for cardiovascular health as it
has been shown to help lower triglycerides or blood fat in the body.
Kiwi
contains certain compounds that act as a blood thinner, similar to the way
aspirin works which helps prevent blood clot formation inside the blood vessels
and can protect the body from stroke and heart attacks.
Green kiwi
is the most commonly available variety found in supermarkets, however a
delicious variety called Gold Kiwi (which
has a golden color flesh) is a much sweeter,
creamier, and less acidic variety that should not be missed.
Kiwi fruit should be left on the counter to
ripen until they yield under gentle pressure, like a ripe mango or avocado.
Eat at least 3-4 ripe kiwi fruit a day for
ultimate health benefits.
Grapefruits (
Grepfrut )
Grapefruits are an exceptional fruit that have
very strong anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties.
They are a great source of vitamin C and
bioflavonoids which help to boost the immune system and prevent aging, illness, and disease.
Grapefruits are known to help with fevers, fatigue, indigestion, insomnia,
diabetes, weight loss, influenza, malaria, urinary tract disorders,
constipation, and flatulence. They are also an
anti-cancer powerhouse and are particularly beneficial for prostate,
breast, colon, and throat cancers.
Even though grapefruit is thought to be an
acidic fruit, it actually has the opposite reaction once inside the body and makes
the body more alkaline which is vital for preventing most other diseases.
They also have the ability to help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides. Fresh grapefruit contains three
special compounds; Salicylic acid, Naringin, and Galacturonic acid.
Salicylic acid has proven to be very valuable
in helping to remove or dissolve inorganic calcium that may have formed as
deposits in the joints such as with arthritis.
Naringin
is a flavonoid (antioxidant) that has been shown to promote the elimination of old red blood cells from the body and to
bring back hematocrit levels to normal.
Galacturonic
acid (found only in grapefruit) has the ability to break up and dislodge fatty
plaque buildup in the arteries and remove it completely from the body. Externally, fresh grapefruit is a natural antiseptic and can be
used to help disinfect and heal wounds and
abrasions.
Grapefruit seeds also are a powerful
natural medicine.
Grapefruit seed extract is extremely effective
at killing dozens of bacteria, fungi, yeast, and other harmful organisms.
Grapefruit seed extract is also known to
quickly and effectively help heal sore throats, food poisoning, diarrhea,
candida infections, and acne.
Grapefruits are packed with electrolytes
and water making them the perfect food to help replenish
and hydrate the body after exercise.
For the most health benefits, consume fresh
grapefruits.
An inexpensive citrus juicer can provide
you with fresh grapefruit juice daily.
If you find the sweet-tart flavor too
intense, water can always be added to dilute the drink and make it a milder
juice.
Another option is to use a high speed
blender such as a Vitamix and blend a whole grapefruit (peel removed) on high for
a minute or two.
The seeds & white pith (where so many of
the health properties are stored) will pulverize into the juice and provide you
with an ultimate health drink, perfect for breakfast or anytime of the day.
As healthy and healing as grapefruits may
be, caution should be used if you are taking certain prescription drugs.
If you are on any medication, make sure to
consult with your physician and/or pharmacist before consuming.
