Super Food Fitness – Kiwi Smoothie

Fruit smoothies have lots of vitamins and minerals plus lots of health benefits just like Kiwi. I think that kiwi is the tofu of fruits because it adapts to other fruits. Kiwi is like flavored water its super yummy. Here is the yummy recipe.

Benefits of Kiwi

Heart Health 

The kiwifruit possesses properties that lower blood pressure. By helping to maintain a healthy blood pressure and providing a boost of Vitamin C, the kiwifruit can reduce the risk of stroke and heart disease.

Beyond this, kiwi also contains a high level of dietary fiber. Fiber can reduce risk factors for heart disease by lowering LDL or bad cholesterol. A surplus of cholesterol can lead to arthorosclerosis which is a hardening of the arteries within the heart.

Digestive Health

Both in its tough skin and flesh, the kiwifruit contains high amounts of dietary fiber. Fiber can help reduce constipation and a variety of other gastrointestinal issues and discomfort.

Treatment of Asthma 

The abundance of Vitamin C in kiwis has been linked to the reduction of wheezing symptoms in some asthma patients. This is especially true for everybody, who seem to benefit the most from the consumption of kiwis.

Ocular Health

When consumed with other healthy vitamin and mineral-rich fruits and vegetables, the high levels of antioxidants vitamins and carotenoids found in the kiwifruit may aid in preventing eye disease and promote overall ocular health for everybody.
