To practice any sport, the one you like the most, you need energy. But also, while you practice, your body consumes much more. This means you need energy to perform any physical exercise and that you will expend more energy during that activity.
Energy balance
When you sweat, you also lose vitamins and minerals, the body loses its balance, and that is why you might feel weak.
Eating kiwis can help restore this balance, so you can get back to action as soon as possible and maintain the physical effort you make for longer.
Scientific studies
This theory has been scientifically proven in a study in which several athletes consumed a sports drink made from carbohydrates and kiwi juice during their training sessions.
Source of minerals
Potassium. After bananas, kiwis are the fruits that contain the highest amount of potassium.
Low sodium level. Since kiwi has a low sodium level, it ensures that the potassium level in the blood –and overall physical balance– is maintained properly.
