Kiwi

The kiwi offers an array of health-promoting nutrients. Kiwis are rich in vitamin C, and also contain vitamin E, folate, potassium, fiber, carotenoids, polyphenols, chlorophyll, glutathione, and pectin.

Heart Disease

Kiwi can be considered a superfood for your heart. The Cleveland Clinic has recommended kiwis as one of the most powerful foods for the heart. Kiwis help to lower triglyceride levels and reduce platelet hyperactivity which plays a role in the development and stability of atherosclerotic vascular plaques and limits the tendency of blood to form clots. The vitamin C and E in kiwi combined with the polyphenols and magnesium, potassium, B vitamins, and copper, all act to protect the cardiovascular system.
