3. Improved Mood
Feeling depressed? Kiwifruit has vitamins C, E and carotenoids which are important nutrients in maintaining psychological health and eating only two a day can decrease the tendency towards depression, decrease fatigue and increase energy according to a study done by the University of Otago in New Zealand [3].
4. Burn Wounds and Ulcers
Studies done on wound healing in rats would seem to indicate that kiwifruit may also be beneficial in human wound healing. It has antibacterial and angiogenic properties and helps contract the wound [4]. This may be beneficial in treating ulcers, burn wounds and bed sores.
