Dream — Being very active at work, campus, or other jobs since morning will definitely make the body feel tired. In the afternoon, not only does the physical condition decline, but also focus and mood.

In such conditions, usually we look for sweet food or coffee to refresh our body and mind. Actually, there is a healthier intake that is highly recommended by nutrition experts, which is kiwi.

Consuming kiwi fruit regularly, according to research published in The British Journal of Nutrition, can improve vitality and mood in just 4 days. "It is very pleasing for people to know that small changes in their diet, such as adding kiwi fruit, can make a difference in their daily feelings," said Professor Tamlin Conner, a researcher from the Department of Psychology at the University of Otago, New Zealand.

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving the HTML tags: The kiwi fruit itself is known as one of the types of "furry" fruits that have fine fur on their outer skin and have a sweet and tangy taste.

In general, the fruit "furry" is known to have a unique shape and taste, it's no wonder that most types of this fruit give an extraordinary sensation to its enthusiasts.

"Vitamin C"

This kiwi fruit contains a very high level of vitamin C, even more than oranges. Vitamin C is often associated with improved mood and reduced levels of depression. If someone lacks vitamin C, they may experience depression and a decrease in cognitive abilities.

"To determine the effects of vitamin C on mental health, researchers analyzed 155 participants to be given vitamin C supplements, placebos, and kiwi fruit every day for 14-16 days. They were then asked to report their mood, sleep quality, and perceived physical activity."

Researchers have discovered a fact that supplements made from kiwi fruit can enhance vitality and mood within four days, reaching their peak on days 14 to 16, and accelerating mood improvement starting from day 14. Meanwhile, regular vitamin C improves mood until day 12.

"Protect Stress and Brain Damage"

"As an antioxidant, this vitamin helps fight stress and protect the brain from damage that can contribute to cognitive decline and mental disorders."

"Vitamin C also supports the synthesis of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, to maintain mood. The anti-inflammatory properties of vitamin C also have a positive effect on brain health. Maintaining an adequate intake of vitamin C through a balanced diet can have a positive impact on emotional stability and cognitive resilience."

"Whole food sources (such as kiwi fruit) show a greater and more consistent increase over time compared to vitamin C alone, and this increase is more noticeable in individuals who consistently have low levels of vitamin C at the beginning," revealed Conner.
