Kiwi Fruit Benefits
Kiwi fruit is the most
nutrient-rich of the top 26 fruits consumed in the world today. It also has the
highest density of any fruit for vitamin C and magnesiumóa limited mineral in
the food supply of most affluent countries and a nutrient important for
cardiovascular health. Among the top three low-sodium, high-potassium fruits,
kiwifruit ranks number one, having more potassium than a banana or citrus
fruits.
Based on the data published in the international scientific literature and the U.S. Food and Drug Administrationís approved legal definition of a good (>10% of the daily value (DV)) or excellent (>20% of the DV) source, kiwifruit may be classified as an excellent source of vitamin C as well as dietary fiber. By the FDA's definition, kiwifruit would also be a good source of vitamin E and potassium. Kiwifruit is low fat and contains no cholesterol.
Unlike other fruits,
kiwifruit has an unusually broad complement of nutrients. Most fruits tend to
be high in only one or two nutrients, but kiwifruit delivers 8% DV of folic
acid, 8% DV of copper, 8% DV of pantothenic acid, 6% DV of calcium and
magnesium, 4% DV of iron and vitamin B6, 2% DV of phosphorus and trace amounts
of vitamin A (beta carotene) and other vitamins and minerals.
Cancer
Kiwifruit has been
shown to contain an antimutagenic component, helping to prevent the mutations
of genes that may initiate the cancer process. The presence of glutathione may
account for the reduction.
·
Carcinogenic
nitrates are formed during the smoking or barbecuing of foods. When nitrates
are ingested, a process called nitrosation can occur, in which free
radicalsónitrosaminesóare formed that may lead to the formation of gastric or
other cancers. Kiwi has been demonstrated to aid in the prevention of
nitrosation.
·
In
another in vitro test with cultured mammalian-cell lines, kiwifruit extract was
found to inhibit melanoma, or skin cancer.
·
The amino
acid arginine, present in kiwifruit, is being looked at by cardiologists to
improve postangioplasty blood flow and actually prevent the formation (or
reformation) of plaque in the arteries.
·
Kiwifruit
is ranked as having the fourth highest natural antioxidant potentialónext to
the red fruits containing high levels of beta carotene.
·
Lutein,
an important phytochemical found in kiwifruit, has been linked to the
prevention of prostate and lung cancer.
·
In
addition to kiwifruit being recognized by the FDA as an excellent source of
dietary fiber, studies indicate that it contains another not-yet-isolated
compound that accelerates digestive transit time even faster than dietary fiber
aloneóimportant for colorectal cancer prevention. The benefit of this laxative
action is to decrease the build-up of cancer-promoting metabolites.
·
Kiwifruit
is one of the few fruits that are green at maturity, and chlorophyll is
responsible for that color. Several studies have suggested that chlorophyllin,
a derivative of chlorophyll, is an inhibitor of liver carcinogenesis.
Depression· Inositol
is found in kiwifruit. Recent studies have shown that inositol, because of its
function as a precursor of an intracellular second messenger system, can be
beneficial in the treatment of depression.
Diabetes
·
Inositol,
a sugar alcohol naturally occurring in kiwifruit, may play a positive role in
regulating diabetes. Inositol supplements may improve nerve conduction velocity
in diabetic neuropathy.
·
Inositol
plays a role in intracellular responses to hormones and neurotransmitters. It
acts as a second messenger in cell signaling processes.
Eye Health/Macular
Degeneration
·
Fourteen
million American adults needlessly suffer from macular degeneration. Kiwifruit
is rich in phytochemicalsóxanthophylls and especially a subcomponent, lutein.
Lutein is known to accumulate in the retina of the eye. Recent USDA studies
have linked these important compounds to the prevention of macular degenerationóthe
leading cause of irreversible blindness in the U.S.
·
Kiwi
fruit contains a wealth of carotenoids (beta carotenes, luteins and
xanthophylls); phenolic compounds (flavonoids and anthocyanins) and
antioxidants, including vitamins C and E. The excellent complement of
antioxidants in kiwifruit may help prevent the oxidation of the good
cholesterol (HDLs).
·
Kiwifruit
is particularly high in two amino acids: arginine and glutamate. Arginine may
help promote an increase in arteriolar dilation, working as a vasodilator and
improving blood flowóimportant for heart health.
·
Kiwi
fruit contains magnesium at 6% DV. Magnesium is thought to be in short supply
in the diets of affluent countries. Poor magnesium status is associated with
heart disease, myocardial infarction and hypertension.
·
Kiwi
fruit contains pectin, which has been shown to lower cholesterol.
Hypertension
Cardiologists believe
the sodium-to-potassium ratio is critical for heart health. That ratio is
extremely favorable in kiwifruit.
Immunity
·
Kiwifruit
has been shown to be an immune boosterómost likely due to its extremely high
vitamin C content and its complement of antioxidant compounds.
Impotence
·
Kiwi
fruit contains the amino acid arginine, a well-known vasodilator that has been
used to treat impotence in men.
Physical Fitness
·
Kiwifruit
contains a wide range of minerals (electrolytes) essential for replenishing
those lost during exerciseóespecially in hot environments. It is also a
naturally significant source of electrolytes for a preworkout regimen.
·
In China,
a kiwi-based sport drink was designed to overcome athletic training in a hot
environment, where large amounts of minerals can be lost in sweat. A 5%
addition of carbohydrates to the kiwifruit juice helped to maintain a normal
glucose level during exhaustive training. The sports drink was tested on
Chinaís elite soccer and track teams and in a more controlled experiment on
amateur athletes. The results? Subjects were able to ride a Monark ergometer
longer, hematocrit increased significantly after exercise, the drink maintained
blood glucose at normal levels when training lasted more than 2.5 hours without
affecting insulin levels and vitamin C status of the athletes improved as
measured by urinary output. Best of all, athletes said it was fragrant, tasty,
refreshing and thirst quenching. It appeared to have no negative side effects
(Di et al, 1990).
Stress Reduction
·
Kiwifruit
contains a relatively high level of serotonin. Serotonin causes a calming
effect in most individuals.
Weight Control
·
Calorie
for calorie, kiwifruit is one of the most nutrient-rich fruits. You get the
best balance of nutrients per calorie (the most nutrients for the fewest
calories) from kiwifruit, cantaloupe, papaya and lemons.
