In Norway, patients with high blood pressure are prescribed three kiwis a day.
Norwegian researchers found that there is a link between kiwifruit and low blood pressure † That is why they decided to investigate the effect of three kiwis a day on men and women with high blood pressure.
This fruit contains a lot of lutein , a substance that helps fight disease, and potassium , a substance that scientists know regulates blood pressure.
Furthermore, kiwi is also rich in vitamin C , an antioxidant. Antioxidants have a protective effect against oxidation of LDL (the 'bad' cholesterol).
