The kiwi is small in size but big in its health benefits! Discover all its virtues.



 It is rich in vitamin C

The kiwi is one of the fruits richest in vitamin C.

At equivalent weight, it contains more than the orange.

Vitamin C is essential for the body: it strengthens the immune system and provides the energy needed to be in good shape on a daily basis.

 It contains potassium

At 312 mg per 100 g, the kiwi is a good source of potassium.

Potassium lowers blood pressure, reduces the risk of kidney stones and ensures good skeletal ossification. It is also essential for the transmission of nerve impulses and guarantees good muscle contraction.

 It contains calcium

The kiwi contains calcium: about 35 mg per 100g. It is much less than milk but it is a significant source for lactose intolerant people who must find calcium in foods other than dairy products.

Calcium has the role of bone mineralization, calcium and plays an important role in the nervous system and blood clotting.

It protects against heart disease

A study has proven that consuming 2 to 3 kiwis a day for about 1 month helps reduce platelet aggregation and blood triglycerides, both risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

It is therefore to be put on the menu to protect your heart.

 It is rich in folate

The kiwi is rich in folic acid, a B vitamin essential for the proper development of the fetus.

In addition, folate is necessary for the growth and proper development of cells in children.

The human body can produce them but it cannot store them in large quantities. It is therefore necessary to find significant sources of folate in the diet, especially in the kiwi.

 It helps to balance blood sugar

Kiwis are low glycemic index (GI) foods. Which means they slow down the absorption of sugar during digestion. Glucose is therefore absorbed less rapidly by the body and is only released slowly into the bloodstream.

 It is low in calories

Containing 80 calories, the kiwi is a fruit that will quench small cravings, thanks to its fiber content, without making you fat.

In addition, its richness in vitamin C will provide the energy necessary for people on a diet, who are often prone to fatigue.

It is rich in antioxidants

The kiwi is rich in antioxidants. In addition, the bioavailability (assimilation by the body) of its antioxidants would be higher than that of other fruits.

The chemical nature of the antioxidants responsible for this performance has yet to be identified, but the high vitamin C content of kiwifruit would partly explain this bioavailability.

  It contains fiber

Kiwis contain a large amount of fiber.

Fiber helps regulate intestinal transit and promotes good digestion.

In addition, they provide a feeling of satiety for a low calorie intake.

  It slows the onset of osteoporosis

Kiwi is an alkalizing food

Alkalyzing foods are essential for the body to restore the acid-base balance and thus avoid diseases.

Without this intake, our body draws on the mineral reserves of our bones, which leads to osteoporosis.
