1, weight loss principle of kiwifruit
First, rich in dietary fiber and pectin
Kiwifruit is rich in dietary fiber, which can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and promote food digestion. In addition, kiwi fruit is also rich in pectin, which has the function of moistening intestines and relaxing bowels, and can help remove residual waste in intestines, promote defecation and improve constipation. At the same time, pectin can control the body's absorption of fat.
Second, it contains protein decomposing enzyme.
Kiwi contains protein-decomposing enzymes, which can help the human body break down fat quickly. At the same time, it can also produce protein and speed up metabolism. Generally speaking, night owls eat late, and kiwifruit rich in actinidine digestive enzymes can effectively promote digestion and reduce the burden on the stomach, which is a good helper for night owls to lose weight.
Third, carnitine promotes fat burning.
Amino acids, which are popular in the field of weight loss at present, are quite rich in kiwifruit. Lysine and methionine in kiwifruit are essential amino acids to help carnitine synthesis. Carnitine, on the other hand, is an effective component to promote fat burning, which can convert excess body fat into heat. Therefore, eating more kiwifruit is very helpful to lose weight.
2. How to ripen kiwifruit
1, ripening kiwifruit with apples
You can put a few apples together with the hard kiwi fruit you bought in a paper bag, tie it up and leave it for two or three days, so that the kiwi fruit will become soft. This is the use of ethylene, a gas emitted by apples, to promote ripening. Not only apples can ripen kiwifruit, but other fruits, such as bananas, pears, vegetables and tomatoes, can also ripen kiwifruit, but it should be remembered that kiwifruit will rot if it is not kept for too long.
Xiaobian reminder: Fruit ripening method is a more reliable method, so you can choose it with confidence. Moreover, the more fruits such as apples and bananas are put, the shorter the ripening time of kiwifruit will be, and the sooner it can be eaten.
2. Use toothpicks to ripen kiwifruit
Wash the bought kiwifruit with water first, then stick a few small holes in the kiwifruit with a clean toothpick, then put it in a plastic bag, tie it up and leave it for a few days, which will speed up the ripening process. You can also use a knife to cut a few small holes on the outside of kiwifruit, which can also play a role in ripening kiwifruit. This is because small wounds can make kiwifruit produce ethylene, and ethylene can accelerate the ripening of kiwifruit. Xiao Bian reminds: Although this method is good, small wounds will breed some microorganisms, which will affect the quality of kiwifruit, so it is still not recommended.
3. Improve the ambient temperature of fruit.
The higher the storage temperature of kiwifruit, the more active the fruit metabolism and the faster the ripening. Therefore, it is best not to put the raw kiwifruit just bought in the refrigerator. If it is put in a box at room temperature for a day or two, it will soften faster than if it is stored in the refrigerator.
