New studies are showing the many health benifits of regular consumption of fresh organic kiwi fruit. At least there is some good news..however small.

I was at the crosswalk today waiting for the light to change so I could cross and catch my bus home, when I spotted a box of Chilean Kiwi fruit. My interest was piqued. I bought one from the ajumma. To my surprise, I found this kiwi had a more subtile and complex flavor and nicer texture than the more familiar Kiwi kiwi. I'm going to be sure to ask at my grocery store that they stock Chilean kiwi.

And good for you:

The findings of a 2003 study conducted by the internationally renowned Rowett Research Institute in the United Kingdom show that eating kiwifruit daily can provide substantial protection against the kind of DNA damage that may cause cancer.


I know this is going to sound "wacky", but on Friday I decided to have a quick lunch of just fresh kiwi before starting my regular classes. I had one of the best days in a long time. My mood was way up and I had tons of energy.....I actually felt like teaching kids!! (can you believe it?) I can't say for certain that is is directly resulting from eating Kiwis, but I am going to eat more of them..

Cheers

Fruit seem to be the cure for everything, with all the antioxidants that can be found in some of them.

Go fruit!!
