The kiwifruit, or simply the kiwi, is a beautiful fruit. In short, it is an edible berry the size of a normal egg.

The faint crust surrounds a green fruit with black seeds and a creamy white centre. When the fruit is peeled and cut, it looks beautiful. It has a slightly sweet and sour taste that most people like.

In addition to its beauty and taste, the kiwi offers a large number of nutrients. It is an excellent source of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and also contains a good amount of vitamins A, E and K. The mineral content of kiwifruit contains a good amount of potassium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus.

All these essential nutrients in the fruit have an additional benefit of dietary fibre. Kiwis also contain little carbohydrates and calories.

Because the kiwis are grown in different parts of the world, this fruit can be found in shops all year round.

You can eat kiwi fruit as it is or mix it in a shake. You can even add kiwi to salads. Nowadays kiwi is also available as a supplement in the form of powder, tablet or capsule.

These are the six best health benefits for the Kiwifruit.

1. Helps in the treatment of asthma:
Kiwi can also help in relieving asthma symptoms such as wheezing and coughing. Vitamin C and antioxidants in kiwi help in the treatment of asthma. Moreover, vitamin C is involved in the metabolism of histamine and prostaglandins, which are involved in bronchoconstriction. This, in turn, prevents asthma attacks.

2. Digestion:
Those who have digestive problems should try to eat more kiwis. This fruit contains many dietary fibres, which is good for digestion. Moreover, the proteolytic enzyme actinidine helps break down proteins, which in turn helps the digestion process.

In addition to helping protein digestion, kiwi also helps prevent constipation and keeps the digestive tract healthy thanks to fibres and prebiotics in the fruit.

3. Regulates the blood sugar level:
The kiwifruit can be consumed by people with diabetes type 1 or type 2. Your glycemic index varies from 47 to 58, so your blood sugar level is not increased drastically.

With a high fibre content and low carbohydrates, the kiwi helps control blood sugar levels and lower cholesterol. Also, it helps in the treatment of complications related to diabetes, such as diabetic foot neuropathic ulcers.

Diabetics must eat 1 kiwi daily to keep blood sugar levels under control and offer a healthy alternative to high-fat or sweet snacks.

4. Make a better sleep
People who struggle to enjoy a broad sleep can eat some kiwis to solve this problem. This spicy and sweet fruit contains many medicinally useful compounds. The following compound; such as antioxidants and serotonin that may be useful in the treatment of sleep disorders. To enjoy a quality dream, just eat a kiwi per hour before you go to bed.

5. Supports cardiovascular health:
The kiwi is packed with vitamins C and E, polyphenols and a good amount of potassium. All these nutrients are good for the health of heart and blood vessels.

Antioxidants such as vitamins C and E help to eliminate free radicals in the blood and help prevent cell damage that is linked to cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis.

Also, kiwifruit helps reduce the risk of blood clots without adverse effects, unlike aspirin. Fiber and potassium in kiwis also promote heart health by reducing the risk of death from ischemic heart disease.

6. Strengthens the immune system:
The high vitamin C content in kiwi can help enhance your immunity. This antioxidant helps tremendously to stimulate your immune system to prevent diseases and protect the body against harmful pathogens.

Kiwifruit also contains vitamin E, which helps to increase the T-cell content of your body, which further contributes to stronger immunity.

Kiwi polished we know but this Kiwi fruit we don't know here in Addis Ababa... Picture or you are....you know the rest

femi4:
Picture

I dey eat na....But I don't know the name.....I just point and kill

Last time I checked the fruit is usually imported and expensive.Imagin buying just two for #500 naira.#500 can buy varieties of fruits,like oranges, bananas,and apple.After all they all have vitamin C.

Troublemaker007:
Op a photo of this fruit you are talking about will be very helpful in getting it.



2019 is fast approaching everyone go and get your PVC cause the nightmare I dreamt about this country is not something to talk about. Nigeria has already had her share of Civil war, pain and death and it will never happen again. Not in my generation. Vote Wisely.

we need war to break away from the northerners.

STOP THESE COPY AND PASTE, WHERE DO WE HAVE KIWI FRUITS IN NIGERIA?

Good
