Eating kiwifruit is also a good way to help take care of your heart and digestive system -- each fruit has 2 grams of fiber.
They're also good for your waistline -- one kiwifruit has only 42 calories.
Finally, kiwifruits are a good source of folate -- a B vitamin needed to prevent a birth defect called spina bifida. They're a good source of vitamin E as well. Vitamin E is an important antioxidant that helps protect the cells in your boy from free radical damage due to pollution and other exposures.
