Eating kiwi fruit is clearly a healthy choice, and it is particularly useful in preventing Asthma, wheezing and coughing, especially in children. They are substantially richer in vitamin C than oranges and contain more fiber than apples. They're very rich in potassium, which is important for the prevention of high blood pressure. Kiwi is also a valuable food for people with poor digestion. Due to their high-fiber content and their unique mucilage, they make a gentle and effective laxative.
