Love kiwis? Then here's a good news for you. The tangy, juicy, green kiwis, a favorite with all dessert lovers have been found to contain a wide assortment of helpful nutrients- both vitamins and minerals that make you glow in the pink of health.
Kiwi fruits contain substantial amount of Vitamin A, C and E. Vitamin A is good for vision; Vitamin C, a water-soluble antioxidant protects our body from harmful free radicals, apart from boosting our immune system to fight against disease-causing foreign bodies; and Vitamin E, which is fat soluble compliments Vitamin C in its function.
The dietary fiber in kiwi fruits help cure ailments such as diabetes, by controlling sugar levels, and colon cancer, by binding the fiber to toxic compounds in the colon.
Other health benefits of eating kiwis are:
- Prevents cardiovascular diseases
- Boosts up immunity and prevents frequent whizzing and coughing, especially in children
- Helps fight obesity
- Protects our DNA from getting mutated
- Prevents asthma and other respiratory diseases

Kiwi is a rich source of vitamin C and vitamin E. Vitamin E, although a fat-soluble form, is complementary to the beneficial effects of vitamin C. Kiwi also has positive effects on the respiratory system. So we can say it is for wholesome health.
