Kiwi is low in sodium and calories and high in potassium. Ripe kiwi contains the proteolytic enzyme actinidin, which aids digestion. Ounce for ounce, kiwifruit contains more vitamin C than an orange. It’s also a good source for two of the most important fat-soluble antioxidants: vitamin E and vitamin A. This combination of both water- and fat-soluble antioxidants has been shown to improve cardiovascular health.
In fact, a 2004 University of Oslo study shows that daily consumption of two or three kiwifruit has similar effects as the daily dosage of aspirin some physicians recommend to improve heart health.
