@thestomachdoc: 🥝 Skin for the win! You’re leaving nutrients on the cutting board if you peel your kiwi. Eat it with the skin to get more vitamin C & E (liver support + antioxidants), plus folate, magnesium, vitamin B6, and ~50% more fiber. Sleep tip: have 1–2 kiwis about 2 hours before bed — they naturally contain melatonin and can support better sleep quality. Colon health: regular kiwi intake is linked with less oxidative DNA damage and faster transit, which may translate to a lower risk of colon cancer over time. Constipation: as a GI doc, kiwi is one of my first-line food treatments — gentle, effective, and easy to add to yogurt. Fuzzy texture not your thing? Wait until it’s softer/ripe, grab a smooth gold kiwi, or slice it and mix with yogurt. Disclaimer about allergies: Some people may be allergic to kiwi, which can cause itching, swelling, or trouble breathing. If you’ve had a reaction to kiwi, it’s best to avoid the skin and talk to your healthcare provider. Always wash the skin well before eating. #healthytips #guthealth #kiwi #constipation #ibs
