The benefits of these flavorful berries include:
Antioxidants: Are the body's first defense force in fighting disease and they counteract damage to the body by free radicals.
Vitamin C - five times the Vitamin C of an orange
- Nature's immune- boosting defense against colds and flu
- Cleanses the body of impurities, and helps combat the effects of stress and aging
- Helps repair the body and enhance cell growth
Vitamin E - twice that of an avocado with only 60% of the calories
- A good source - extremely hard to find in low-fat food sources
- Helps lower high cholesterol and reduces narrowing of the arteries
Vitamin A - Essential in vision, normal bone, tooth development, reproduction, and the
health of skin
Vitamin B6 - equals the amount of a serving of spinach
- Shortage in the American diet - especially in women using oral contraceptives, those who are pregnant or breast feeding as well as some children and older adults.
- A serving of kiwi has some 4% of USRDA of B6 making it one of the few foods rich in this vitamin
- Important to the immune system to fight disease
- Helps maintain a normal blood sugar level
Vitamin B2 - the same amount as found in 100% fortified breakfast cereal
- Helps maintain a healthy nervous system and red blood cells
Folate (Folic Acid) - For Women
- a B vitamin that protects against birth defects, cancer, and heart disease
- Crucial for women and their babies before and during pregnancy
- Makes healthy replacement blood and skin cells
Carotenoids
- KiwiBerries contain carotenoids: carotenes (primarily beta carotene), luteins and xanthophylls. Diets high in foods containing carotenoids have been linked to a reduced risk of cancer, heart disease, cataracts and macular degeneration.
Flavonoids (Higher levels due to KiwiBerries edible skin)
- Another group of phytochemicals, the phenolic compounds, are found primarily in the skin of KiwiBerries. These compounds, such as flavonoids, have received much attention because of their antioxidant, antiallergenic, anticancer and anti-inflammatory properties
Fiber (both soluble and insoluble)
- Soluble fiber protects against heart disease and diabetes
- Insoluble fiber reduces the risk of some cancers, constipation, and diverticulitis
- A good source of dietary fiber, with 4 grams a serving, 16% of the USRDA
- Helps remove potentially harmful substances from the body
Cholesterol and Fat
-Contains no cholesterol and virtually no fat only about 1 gram per serving from the tiny black seeds.
- Helps fight heart disease and high cholesterol
- Great for those on weight-loss programs
Minerals
Potassium - Higher per ounce than bananas
- A single serving outranks bananas as the top low-sodium, high-potassium fruit
- Critical to maintaining the body's fluid and electrolyte balance
- Assists in the reduction hypertension and high blood pressure
Magnesium
- Important for bone formation, heart rhythm regulation, muscle relaxation, and nerve function
- Activates enzymes that metabolize food components to form protein and release energy
Manganese
- An essential to the enzymes involved in our use of protein and food energy, and also in the marketing of body chemicals needed to protect both our respiratory and digestive tracts.
Copper - For kids
- Vital for infant growth, bone strength, brain development, and building immunity
- A mineral involved in making red blood cells and needed for normal bone formation.
Calcium
- Essential fro normal growth and maintenance of bones and teeth
- Kiwi Berries are a source of calcium without the additional fat of dairy products
Iron
- Needed for oxygen-based metabolism
- Small amounts can be meaningful for those with problems of iron-deficiency anemia
Phosphorus
- A component of DNA and RNA and an essential element for all living cells
Selenium
- An essential trace element
- May help prevent cancer by acting as an antioxidant or by enhancing immune activity
Chromium
- A key factor both in regulating the heartbeat and the body's use of carbohydrates, like sugars and starches, which are our bodies main source of energy
Zinc - For Men
- Important for young boys and men - an ingredient needed to make the hormone testosterone
- Necessary for healthy hair, nails, eyes, and skin
Sodium
- Kiwi is low in sodium and contains no cholesterol and virtually no fat only about 1 gram per serving from the tiny black seeds.
- Sodium has been identified as having a dietary effect on blood pressure. Fortunately, there is so little sodium in kiwifruit that it can be labeled as zero.
