Benefits of Kiwi
Kiwis are small fruits that have a lot of flavour and plenty of health benefits. Their green flesh is tangy and sweet. It is also full of nutrients like vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin E, folate, and potassium. They also have a lot of antioxidants and are a good source of fibre. Their small black seeds are edible, as is the fuzzy brown peel, though many prefer to peel the kiwi before eating it.
The high amount of vitamin C and antioxidants that kiwis contain actually helps treat people with asthma. A study held by a lifestyle daily from 2000 found that there is a beneficial effect on the lung function among those who consumed fresh fruit regularly, including kiwis. Fresh fruit like kiwi may even reduce wheezing in susceptible children.
