May Help With Weight Loss
Kiwis are low in calories. They have negligible fat content. Moreover, they are rich in fiber. All this only makes them an ideal addition to a weight loss diet.
Promote Sleep
Eating kiwifruit before bed can improve sleep quality. In a four-week study, 24 men were given two kiwifruits one hour before bed. By the end of the time period, their sleep quality improved by 42%.
Beautiful Skin
Kiwi is alkaline in nature, which means it helps in countering the effects of acidic foods that we quite often consume. The vitamins C and E present in kiwi are said to be great for the skin as they act as antioxidant, preventing skin degradation.
