More good news from New Zealand! I read in The NZ Herald:"Kiwifruit can help battle heart disease. Eating kiwifruit daily can fight off heart disease by cutting dangerous fat that can block arteries and reducing the risk of blood clots, research has revealed. The groundbreaking findings by Norwegian scientists shows eating kiwifruit each day cuts the amount of fat platelets being pumped around the body while also thinning the blood -- reducing the risk of potentially fatal clots.
The work, at the University of Oslo, showed that eating two or three kiwifruit a day for 28 days reduced the platelet aggregation response to the release of collagen in the bloodstream".
Let's have some kiwifruits then!


Mas buenas noticias de Nueva Zelanda! Leo en el NZ Herald: "El kiwi puede ser de ayuda contra las enfermedades cardiovasculares. Comer kiwis diariamente ayuda a prevenir las enfermedades cardiovasculares porque reduce las grasas que se acumulan en las arterias, a la vez que reduce la posibilidad de formacion de coagulos, segun un estudio realizado por un grupo de cientificos noruegos de la Universidad de Oslo. Durante la investigacion se demostro que comiendo 2 o 3 kiwis durante 28 dias, las grasas se reducian debido a la aparicion de colageno en el sistema circulatorio".
Ala pues, a comer kiwis!
