A Rutgers University study shows that kiwi is the most nutrient-dense fruit - meaning it contains more vitamins and minerals per gram than 27 of the most commonly consumed fruits. University of Oslo researchers also found that consuming three kiwis daily can reduce clotting and lower fat in the blood that can cause blockage.
Another study by the renowned Rowett Research Institute in the UK showed that eating a kiwi a day can speed up the repair of DNA damage, as well as provide protection against free radical damage that can cause cancer.
Kiwis also contain substantial amounts of vitamin E and lutein, a carotenoid pigment found in green and yellow fruits and vegetables. Lutein is essential for maintaining healthy vision as we age. It reduced the risk of cataracts and mascular degeneration, the leading causes of blindness in older people.
