7. Lowering Blood Pressure
One of the risk factors for cardiovascular disease and a fairly common problem, is high blood pressure. A study reported in the Journal of Hypertension shows how kiwifruit was beneficial in lowering the blood pressure of a group of smokers [7].
8. Eye Health
Another ingredient found in kiwifruit is carotenoids. In particular kiwifruit contains the two carotenoids, lutein and zeaxanthin, that are important for the health of our eyes and in preventing macular degeneration as we grow older [8].
