The Australia King Parrots are a medium size parrot and as the name would suggest native to Australia. They are the largest of the local Australian brightly colored Parrots. By far they are Australia's largest parrot measuring sixteen to seventeen inches in length and weighing seven to eight ounces. This Parrot is a particularly robust and hearty bird; their life span in captivity can average from twenty to twenty-five years.

The Australia King Parrots are also known as The King Lory, Queensland King, Southern King Parrot, Australian King, and The Eastern King. The Australia King Parrots are inhabitants of Australia's coastal mountains, and forests regions of Queensland, Victoria, and New South Wales. While the wild birds are largely seen in the eastern regions of Australia, wild King Parrots are commonly seen in populated areas such as parks and gardens.

In the wild the Australian King Parrots eat fruits, berries, seeds and small insects. During the early morning and late afternoon the wild Australian King Parrot can be seen in groups of three to five flying to their daily feeding grounds. They have been known to destroy orchards and corn crops. Most farmers consider them to be largely pests.

The birds have been known to have a preference for the fruit of the white cedar tree. It is very common to see them eating ripe kiwi fruit, figs and eucalyptus pod seeds. When kept in captivity, they typically eat commercial bird food from a feeding tray. Their diet can be supplemented with passion fruit, kiwi fruit, sunflower seeds and fresh corn on the cob. They seem to favor early morning feedings.

The birds are not known to being overly affectionate, and may not take to being handled very well. However, the birds are not in any way anti-social. In fact they seem to enjoy interacting with their caretakers. The birds are an excellent alternative to more vocal Parrots. They are quiet Parrots and tend not to scream making them highly sought after due to their good nature. While not the best talkers among parrots, they can learn to say a few words. When they vocalize, owners are entertained with their very pleasant chatter and whistles.

Often described as beautiful, the Australian King Parrots have a very visible color pattern. It consists of a color combination of largely reds and greens. The male's heads are fiery red in color while the female's heads and breasts are green. Both sexes generally have read bellies and green color trailing down their tails and onto their wings. The back and wings usually have a dark green coloration with lighter green patch across the shoulders.

Keep in mind they are a curious and intelligent bird. They will need a large cage to keep them active. As mentioned earlier they are hearty bird and they need to be exercised outside the cage daily. Standard exercise for this bird consists of three to four hours outside the cage so give them a lot of attention and they will reward you with lots of love.

Introducing your children to new foods can be as easy as getting them in the kitchen to help you prepare a meal. When my children were little I mean at the age of 2 to 3 you pick them up and set them on the counter top. I know, I know 2 years old seems young but the younger you start the more comfortable they will feel in the kitchen. I remember their first experience of trying to crack and egg. The look on their face when you tell them its OK to hit the egg on the counter or the edge of a bowl. Put the egg into their little hands and help them crack that first egg, then watch the magic happen. Their little eyes will light up and the expression on their faces will forever be in your memory. Give them as many jobs as you can in the kitchen even if their help is not really help but a deterrence and makes making dinner a 2 hour project instead of the usual half hour. I use to let my kids beat the eggs before scrambling, measure the flour for baking and always they get to taste as you progress through the recipe.

Letting kids in the kitchen opens up a whole new way to teach and expand their culinary experiences. Teaching good cooking skills at and early age will never be wasted, even if you find that this is not something they like or would do on a regular basis. I believe that giving kids the chance to experience the touch , the feel and all the smells related to the culinary field will widen their minds to questioning and being curious of the foods of the world.

I remember letting my kids pick one exotic fruit or vegetable from the produce department at the grocery store if they accompanied me. This didn’t happen too often because my trips to the grocery store use to be the only time I got away for the kids. They only got to pick something out if they behaved in the grocery store and then the sky was the limit. We all have fond memories of the time one of them picked a coconut and trying everything to crack that thing open., or the time they picked a fresh pineapple and their tongues and lips swelled because of too much acid from eating the whole thing. One of the funniest stories I remember was the time they picked a kiwi and insisted on taking it to school for show and tell. They wanted to put it in a brown bag and not let the kids see it, just put their hands in the bag and feel it. Knowing that if you didn’t see the kiwi you would probably think it was some type of small animal. They could picture the squeals now from most of the little girls in the room.

Being busy that morning I didn’t notice that they put the kiwi in a brown paper bag and dropped it into their back pack. My children rode the bus to school, and have you ever seen the abuse a back pack gets from and elementary school age child. To say the least, by the time that kiwi got to class it was pretty much squished and oozing juice. There plan was foiled but I still laugh at the thought of those little hands reaching into that bag to feel that kiwi.

It is estimated that 1 in every 6 person is sensitive or allergic to some foods, and that many health, psychological and behavioural problems are due to food allergies. Yet conventional allergy testing methods often fail to identify allergies in patients.

I see many patients who have spent frustrating years trying to understand their health problems, only to discover that they do, in fact, have food allergies. Not surprisingly, a great many of these patients or parents of allergic children tell me that they first suspected allergies, but their suspicions were dismissed by their doctors after their tests results showed negative. It is thanks to sheer persistence that these patients eventually find the answers they have been seeking.

Kinds of Food Allergies

A food allergy can trigger either an immediate or a delayed reaction to food. This and whether or not the reaction involves the high levels of antibodies determine what type of food allergy it is.

Type l. Immediately or soon after eating the food, you show clear and often dramatic symptoms. If you are allergic to fungus, you might develop abdominal cramps within an hour of eating a ragout containing mushrooms. A child with a type 1 reaction to kiwi fruit might experience severe itching in the mouth or vomiting within 15 minutes of eating a kiwi fruit.

Type 1 food allergies they result in high levels of IgE antibodies in the blood so they are easily diagnosed by tests for these antibodies. Many doctors consider IgE mediated allergies to be the only real allergies, yet most food allergies are not Ige mediated. Only 3- 5% of children and 1-2% of adults are estimated to be affected by Type l food allergies.

Anaphylaxis – a severe reaction that can be fatal within minutes – is a Type 1 reaction. Warning signs are dizziness, light-headedness, swollen tongue or throat, difficulty breathing, fainting or facial swelling immediately after eating food. Get immediate emergency care.

Type ll. Though not considered a true allergy by more conservative doctors, a Type ll reaction still results in high levels of antibodies, usually IgA, IgG and IgM, as well as the typical inflammatory reactions.

Type lll. Delayed reactions often go unrecognized because the symptoms are not usually obvious, and may occur days after the food is eaten. Also, since they do not involve IgE antibodies, delayed allergy reactions to not show up on standard skin tests or some blood tests. Instead, they manifest as clusters of physical, behavioral and learning symptoms that affect several body systems at once. Type lll allergies are for this reason often called 'hidden' allergies.

A person with Type lll food allergies can suffer from recurring breathlessness, mucousy throat, sporadic hyperactivity and emotional swings, chronic stuffy nose, and flu-like symptoms. For another person, symptoms can include headaches, itchy eyes, stomach pains, depression, fatigue, sleep problems, and swollen lymph nodes.

These delayed reaction patterns of food allergy are difficult to diagnose. Yet health practitioners believe that they account for most food allergies, especially in children. In my opinion, any undefined pattern of illness that involves different symptoms and different body symptoms should be taken as a likely sign of food allergy until proven otherwise.

Effective tests for Food Allergies

Given the prevalence of type lll food allergies, other testing methods are called for. The most common non-standard test is the Rotation Diet. Common allergenic foods and suspected food allergens are eliminated from the diet for 4-7 days, then reintroduced. When the body is given a chance to clear of food allergens, symptoms will usually subside or disappear. By reintroducing the food again, you cause symptoms to reappear, allowing you to identify just what foods affect you.

Kinesthetic and Energy Testing

Many natural therapists test for allergies by identifying energy disturbances caused by different foods. Some methods work on the principle that these disturbances will temporarily weaken the long muscles of the body, while others use energy technology to identify which foods cause disturbances in the body's energy fields. Though still not accepted as valid tests by conventional medicine, these testing methods are providing breakthroughs for thousands of patients whose allergies previously went undiagnosed.

How can you avoid cancer? Can you avoid unwanted diseases such as stroke and heart attack? There is still no cure for cancer since this deadly disease begins affecting our community. However, stroke and heart attack could be avoided by changing your lifestyle. What will you do if one of your love ones have these diseases? Definitely, it is not the news you are expecting to hear it.

So, how are you going to prevent your health and reduce the risk of cancer? Here are tips and ideas you would be interested to hear that can result in an increase defense against such diseases through consumption of a nutritious diet.

1. Always include an increase amount of fiber foods such as whole grains, beans, fruits and vegetables in your diet. One of the functions of fiber is that it helps a faster movement of food or can easily be digested in the intestine which you also can call it peristalsis. Additionally, Fiber aids the intestine to absorb water. This results in absolute cleansing of your body from toxins.

2. Do not forget to include high amount of Vitamin A and C in your meal daily such as dark green and deep yellow vegetables. You can get increase vitamin C from kiwi, broccoli, yellow bell peppers, and berries. It is known that one kiwi alone can give you 95% of vitamin C in a days meal. Berries on the other hand, contains antioxidant to help protect you from cancer.

3. Green leafy vegetables contain plant sterols and stanols which aids your body to absorb cholesterol from the food you eat. This will help your body to eliminate unwanted fat that might clog in your blood vessels. You should know that with too much fat absorb in your blood vessels it could lead to heart attack also known as myocardial infarction.

4. When you are craving for dessert, fruits is a good choice. Instead of picking candies, chocolates and potato fries have a cup of fruits that you like. It is pack with vitamins and minerals necessary to boost your immune system. If you have a juicer, you can add fruits as a flavor and it will definitely give you a heavenly taste with increase health benefits.

Change your diet today and enjoy a healthy life free from diseases and illnesses. Remember your health is your wealth.

New Zealand, the land of the Kiwi bird, of sheep and cattle, mountains, rivers and lakes, and beautiful natural scenery. And Christchurch, the city that two years ago suffered two serious earthquakes and has had at least 10,000 follow-up tremors since then.

When we arrived in Christchurch, we found it to be much cooler than we had anticipated especially after Australia but our welcome was warm. On our first night there, we went to the home of a New Zealand family for a typical New Zealand home-cooked dinner. Our meal consisted of roasted lamb with mint sauce, vegetables fresh from their garden and the traditional dessert of Pavlova, a meringue base filled with whipped cream and covered with kiwi, peaches and strawberries.

They, like many others, had suffered some earthquake damage to their home although it was not extensive because they lived on the outskirts of town. The downtown section was the hardest hit. Even the hotel we were staying in still had some cracks in the walls and scaffolding remained around some outside areas of the building.

Christchurch, founded in July of 1856 is the second largest city in New Zealand with a population of 367,700 people. On our second day there, we were driven around to see the earthquake damage, especially to the downtown area which was almost decimated in some areas. Many of the buildings had to be demolished while others, particularly those that have heritage value, are still being worked on in an effort to preserve them. Many have container cars placed in front of the facades to prevent them from crumbling or toppling over. It was a sad sight to see. During the second earthquake, 185 people lost their lives. A memorial in the downtown area had been established for them.

Because of the extensive damage, many restaurants had been closed, as well as hotels and tourist attractions. As a result, there were fewer places in Christchurch that we could visit. A group of us took a cab to the Botanical Gardens and walked around. I admired many of the towering, majestic trees, some apparently more than 120 years old. The flowers were still colourfully prominent and there didn’t appear to be any major earthquake damage to this area. The Botanical Garden was begun by the planting of a solitary oak in 1863. It is bordered on three sides by Hagley Park and in some areas you can see the gently flowing Avon River beside it.

We also visited the Canterbury Museum established in 1867 but not opened to the public until 1882. The museum specializes in early Maori, European settlement and Antarctic exploration and was extremely interesting to look through. Over the years the building has been added to several times. During the recent earthquake the building did sustain some minor damage to its facade. However, it is suspected that there was not as much damage as might have been were it not for the earthquake upgrading that was done during the latest addition.

Following our visit to the museum, we decided to walk back to our hotel, a distance of about three miles. It was quite pleasant when we started out but it turned into a downfall halfway there. However, it was a fairly warm rainfall so once we were wet, it wasn’t really that unpleasant. And after a stop at a Chinese restaurant for a nice hot bowl of soup, we were ready to go again. Well, almost.

From Christchurch we caught the Tranz Alpine Express for the scenic trip through the Southern Alps to Franz Josef Glacier Region. We chugged our way up picturesque mountains, across trestles with rivers flowing far below, passed scenic lakes, enjoyed the lush greenness of valleys where sheep and cattle grazed happily in the meadows and enjoyed the wonders of all this fabulous nature.

The Tranz Alpine Express, operating since the end of 1987, has an on-board cafe, large windows for excellent viewing and an open air carriage in the middle of the train to even better see the passing scenery. After about three hours of travelling, we bid adieu to our train life and again boarded the bus for the remainder of our trip to Franz Josef Glacier Region. We spent the night there before heading out the following day for Queenstown.

The landscape between Franz Josef and Queenstown was stunning with the rainforest, the twisting coastline, magnificent waterfalls and green glacial lakes. One lake which was particularly impressive was Hawea Lake. At its longest point it is 35 km long and at its deepest, it is 392 metres. But most striking is its natural beauty.

So far New Zealand has not been a disappointment. It surpasses any of my expectations with its beautiful and diverse scenery, the mountains, rivers, waterfalls and lakes. Our next stop is Queenstown. Can it get any better than what we have seen so far?

Has anyone heard of a diet that promised to prevent unwanted diseases? Would such diet defend cancer? Would it stop a possible stroke or heart attack? Until now, the cure for cancer had illuded our community since this deadly disease claimed its victims. What could you possibly do when you receive dreadful diagnosis unexpectedly one day?

Today, any debilitating illness can be prevented and the risk of cancer may be reduced, enjoying a life spent free of diseases. But, how can you completely take pleasure in such a blissful life? The key can be found in your kitchen — cook, consume a palatable and nutritious diet every meal.

Listed below are a summary of what can you add in a good meal essentially healthy for your family and friends.

1. Consume an increased amount of fiber rich foods such as whole grains, beans, and vegetables in your diet. As you very well know, fiber functions as a helper to effortlessly fasten the movement of food and to easily promote food digestion in your intestines. Aside from that, with fiber added to your diet it could helped your intestine absorb water which your body needed it. These process can result in an absolutely cleansed body from any toxins that could further impair your health as you aged.

2. High amount of vitamin A and C in your meals should not be neglected. These vitamins can easily be found in dark green and deep yellow vegetables. Most notably rich vitamin C vegetables has long been discovered in kiwi, broccoli, bell peppers and berries. Research showed that a Kiwi fruit could provide 95% of vitamin C needed for your daily intake. The reason why these vitamins reported to be essential in your diet is that it provides antioxidant lowering your risk of chronic diseases. Aside from that, it helped your body boost its immunity improving your white blood cells to function better and to fight infections vigorously.

3. The consumption of green leafy vegetables in every meal had been a constant battle especially for kids. All mothers should be encouraged to learn how to prepare delightful recipes and to educate yourself how beneficial the green leafy vegetables to you. For instance, a green smoothie made from green leafy veggies, green apple and nuts can be a perfect choice to served your toddlers. Furthermore, it should be noted that green veggies contained substances called sterols and stanols. These substances served as aids to your body from absorbing cholesterol. As you aged, cholesterol tend to clog veins and arteries. When an increase buildup of cholesterol found in your blood, myocardial infarction follows. Also known as heart attack.

4. A well planned meal should include any dessert. Cravings for dessert is remedied when you have great selection of fruits prepared throughout the week. Candies, pies, ice cream, chocolates, and cakes should be limited. A cup of fruit is packed with vitamins and minerals necessary to boost your immune system. An important thing to remember when you hoped for a good meal is to own a food processor. Having one can provide you various ideas to make a healthy meal. For example, frozen fruits like berries, bananas and apples mixed together in the food processor providing you a delicious ice cream free of unnatural sweeteners.

A healthy life free of diseases and illnesses can only be achieved when you change your diet and lifestyle today. Would you prefer to appreciate a satisfying life or a troubled life force to endure suffering when you age?

Your life. Your choice.

In comparing my fellow Singaporeans standard, I would consider myself generally healthy with an okay fitness and stamina level. And when I went to New Zealand, I didn’t fall sick as often, probably less than 3 times per year.

In New Zealand, I met healthy 60++-year-old Kiwis who overtook me while exercising, had stamina to climb up and down hills when I am already tired and panting, and walked faster than me when carrying heavier items. They are nothing like the elderly in Singapore!

Most of the Kiwis I met above 50 have more health and vitality than Singaporeans who are half their age. I came up with this list based on my observations and research. To a great extent, I am still adopting that part of Kiwis’ healthy lifestyle today.

7 Tips to the Kiwis’ Healthy Lifestyle

1) Fresh air
Compared to the polluted city air, the air in New Zealand smells really good – clean, fresh and probably full of negative ions. My nasal pathway was clear, with little Sinus or congestion issues. Even my complexion improved with few pimples and not as oily.

2) Clean water with minerals
Tap water is dirty, with rust, heavy metals, faecal bacteria, dirt, soil, etc. I didn’t realize how bad it was until one day the water that came out from the tap was brown and chalky! Since then, I always filter water and add a pinch of organic sea salt before drinking.

I also realized that heaps of people tend to buy bottled mineral water in New Zealand, despite the claims that tap water is safe for consumption.

3) Sufficient sleep of approximately 7.5 hours daily
Most Singaporeans barely get 5 hours of sleep every night, while the Kiwis go to bed by 10pm (if they are not out partying). In fact, during winter, it gets quite dark by 6pm, and quite often, they are in bed by 8pm.

4) Daily incidental exercises
General availability is not as convenient as Singapore. For example, the supermarkets are huge and bus stops are far apart, which provided heaps of walking opportunities.

During my summer work, there were heaps of walking uphill and pushing heavy wheelbarrow, or carrying equipment back and forth. These are the incidental exercises that Kiwis do daily, which is a part of their healthy lifestyle.

5) Consumption of freshly grown fruits and vegetables
New Zealand has heaps of horticultural farms that produce large amount of fresh fruits and vegetables daily. They also have local farmers’ market that sells chemical-free fresh produce weekly.

6) Socially responsible
When one is not feeling well, sick leave is often granted. Kiwis are very trusting and have integrity that people do not fake illness. This gives them a lot of time to recuperate indoors, which minimizes the spreading of germs to others.

During my last semester, there was an epidemic of gastrointestinal virus in Palmerston North. The students affected were exempted from the final semester exams without the need of retaking.

7) Time spent outdoor in nature
New Zealand has more natural space than buildings. Parks are within walking distance to residences. Going to the park or gardens is already an integral part of the Kiwis’ healthy lifestyle as they have been doing it since young.

While most Singaporeans are short-sighed, I met very few Kiwis who have this problem (probably the benefits of a green environment).

This list is not exhaustive as there could be other factors. Personally, I felt that these are what give the Kiwis a healthy lifestyle, as compared to us Singaporeans.

Structure of an atom

Kiwi fruits are a treat to our taste buds, but have you ever noticed its inner portion? It has a light colored center and surrounding layers of black seeds located within the fruit flesh.

If we compare an atom with a Kiwi fruit, the concentrated center portion can be compared to the positively charged atomic nucleus and the black color seeds to the negatively charged electrons. It was believed that these electrons revolve around the nucleus as the earth and the other planets revolve around the sun. As we know, atom is the smallest particle of an element and none can see the movement of these electrons with naked eye. The nucleus has two types of sub atomic particles, the positively charged protons and the neutral neutrons The above given concept of a mature nucleus and obedient electrons that maintain a regular and normal path was proposed by the Danish scientist Niels Bohr.

In 1922, Bohr received Nobel prize for proposing this atomic structure that laid the foundation for quantum physics. But do you think, the passive and obedient electrons and silent nucleus can generate the radioactivity? They will live together happily thereafter, don’t they? But the reality is the tremendous energy of radio activity. The mighty alpha rays, beta rays, gamma rays, X rays and ever moving quarks and neutrinos are the truth. What contributes these invincible phenomena? When Bohr’s atomic structure could not explain these phenomena, scientists came up with several ideas including electrons moving in same circular orbits but in different directions. Among them Louis De Broglie borrowed Einstein’s wave theory of light and explained that all forms of matter like protons, electrons, atoms, molecules show dual character like light. de Broigle,by using Maxwell’s electro-magnetic wave theory formulated the concept of matter waves. Matter waves are waves associated with moving microscopic particles.

Let’s go back to the Kiwi fruit to understand the concept. In the image, you must have seen the tender flesh spread around the black seeds. Imagine, these tender layers are path of those seeds that moves in and around and the tender layers are formed because of the movement of those seeds. Instead of forming round path, the path formed by the seeds are like waves. Similar is the case with the path of electrons around the nucleus. These path of electrons around the nucleus are called orbitals. Orbitals are regions in space around the nucleus where electrons are likely to be found.

Now, let’s understand why scientists were worried about the structure of atom in terms of radioactivity. What is radioactivity? Radioactivity is the emission of radiation or particles caused by the disintegration of atomic nucleus. Alpha particles positively charged particles that consists of two protons and two neutrons. Beta particles are negatively charged and is generated by the nucleus during its disintegration process, whereas gamma rays are neutral radiation. If the Bohr Atom model was correct, an atom always will have a stable nucleus with same number of protons survived by same number of obedient electrons moving around it in a desirable velocity.

The disintegration of nucleus indicated the possibility of charge difference and growing tension within the nucleus. The primary reason could be the mismatch in the charge and that led the discovery of wave theory of sub atomic particles. This concept led Werner Karl Heisenberg to formulate a principle about the location of electrons within the atomic orbitals named Hesenberg’s uncertainty principle. Heisenberg stated that “It is not possible to determine simultaneously and precisely both the position and momentum of a microscopic moving particle like electron, proton etc.” According to the uncertainty principle, due to the wave nature of electron, we cannot describe the exact path i.e., position followed by an electron at any time. Thus Bohr’s theory, according to which electrons are regarded as having fixed position of definite energy, is no longer correct.

How does it affect the human beings if we believe that Bohr Model of atom is the correct model and shut all the further research based on wave theory? If the scientists did not explore the truth behind the atomic structure,

1. We would never have been able to treat cancer patients

Gamma rays are used to kill off cancer cells and is used for cancer treatment. The atom of the element Cobalt-60 is commonly used for this purpose. Utilizing radiation to combat cancer is an important career. With the growing rate of cancer cases in the world, a degree in radiation therapy reckons a lot of opportunities.

2. Killing Microbes

Gamma rays are successfully uses to destroy microbes that cause food to decay. Surgical instruments and syringes can also be treated with gamma rays. It is a great way to prevent infections been transferred.

3. Carbon Dating

When an animal or plant dies it stops taking in carbon. But its carbon-14 content continues to decay. If we compare the carbon-14 with that from a living thing, the age of animal and plant remains can be calculated. This is known as carbon dating. Carbon dating is used in the study of fossils. It is also a great career that has opportunities in the disciplines of archaeology, paleontology etc,

4. Calculating the age of rocks

1.2% of the remaining potassium atoms is radioactive, known as K-40. The nucleus of this atom disintegrates for twelve thousand years and eventually decays to form the stable argon atom. By tracing the argon content of potassium rocks, scientists can calculate the age of such rocks. Therefore, it is a great support for geologists and geographers.

Prostatic cancer has already become a kind of common disease to attack the male reproductive system among men. According to the experts, the prostatic cancer may probably become the first killer to threaten the male health in ten years. Some people have known that green tea can decrease the risks of getting prostatic cancer for men. Is there any other food which can prevent the cancer? In fact, five kinds of food including soy bean, onion, pumpkin seeds, tomato and kiwi fruit can also protect the health of the prostate.

Soy bean can produce a kind of substance called "cow urine phenolic" to restrain the male hormones and protect the prostate after it enter the human body. According to the experts, people can cook soy bean into soup so as to make full use of the medical effect. The soup can also remove the internal heat for the human body.

Onion contains a kind of compound called "quercetin" which can effectively resist cancer for the human body. According to the research, quercetin can prevent the abnormal changes of cells. Onion also contains selenium which can resist oxidation to remove the free radicals and strengthen the metabolism of cells inside the human body. People can eat both cooked onion and uncooked onion in daily life. In addition, the quercetin can also be found in apple, tea or red wine.

Pumpkin seeds contain abundant fatty acid to maintain the normal functions of prostate. According to the research, 2% of cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia can be transformed into prostatic cancer. It is beneficial for men to eat some pumpkin seeds every day to improve the benign prostatic hyperplasia and prevent the cancer.

Tomato contains a kind of substance called " lycopene " to resist oxidation and eliminate the free radicals. The adequate intake of tomatoes can effectively decrease the risks of getting prostatic cancer for men. At the same time, the adequate intake of tomatoes can also supplement various nutrients for the human body. People can eat 50 to 100 grams of fresh tomatoes every day.

Kiwi fruit contains abundant amino acid, vitamin C, vitamin B1, carotene, calcium, iron and so on. The glutathione contained in kiwi fruit can restrain the cancer cells of prostatic cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer and skin cancer. People can mix 50 grams of mashed kiwi fruit with 250 milligrams of warm boiled water and eat such a kind of mixture two times a day.
