Rojas points to a common fruit that delivers fast, measurable benefits for stress, fatigue and overall wellbeing.
Aurelio Rojas, cardiologist: “This fruit can completely transform you in four days; it improves your health much more than consuming only vitamin C”
In the realm of health, there are certain foods and products that, because of their properties and composition, become powerful allies in leading a more balanced, calmer hookup and – above all – longer life.
In this context, Aurelio Rojas, a cardiologist and content creator, has shared a video on TikTok in which he talks about a fruit capable of transforming how we feel in just a few days. “This fruit can completely change you in just four days, especially if you suffer from stress and anxiety,” the health professional says by way of introduction.
@doctorrojass En este ensayo controlado con placebo publicado por Fletcher et al se incluyeron 155 adultos, quienes consumieron dos kiwis diarios durante 28 días. Se midieron cambios en vitalidad, estado de ánimo y bienestar usando encuestas diarias y se observaron mejoras significativas desde el día 4, alcanzando su punto máximo de mejoría entre los días 14 y 16 Asi que ya sabes !

Rojas then outlines all the benefits of this food, whose identity he initially withholds. “Why does it work so fast? This fruit is a natural biological bomb – extremely high in vitamin C, fiber that regulates your digestive system and your gut–brain axis, high levels of potassium, and antioxidants that counteract stress-related inflammation,” he explains.
“Energy, rest, mood – and no side effects”
Citing the results of a study published by the British Journal of Nutrition in 2023, the cardiologist reveals that he is talking about kiwis and breaks down the most relevant findings. “Eating two kiwis a day – just that – for two weeks improved overall wellbeing by 60%, reduced fatigue and tiredness by 35%, and significantly lowered stress levels in those who consumed them,” he says.
To wrap up, Rojas highlights what he considers the most striking conclusion of the study. “This research showed something remarkable. Vitamin C helps, but the whole kiwi improves your health far more than taking vitamin C on its own. Energy, rest, mood – and no side effects,” he concludes.
