Small Fruit, Big Heart Benefit

If you've only thought of kiwifruit as a nice garnish or an occasional treat, it's time to think about bringing it a bit more front and center. Eating this little green fruit with fuzzy brown skin actually can knock down your heart disease risk.

Kiwis (meaning the fruit, not people from New Zealand or the bird from that country) help your arteries in two ways: They help lower levels of nasty blood fats called triglycerides, which can start a process that fuels the growth of plaque in your arteries, and they reduce platelet clumping. Platelets are a type of blood cell that look like rumpled sheets. They keep you from bleeding to death from a paper cut or a razor nick, but they also grab onto rough spots inside your arteries. Sometimes, the platelets end up forming a big clot on top of the plaque in your arteries, which attracts more platelets. Eventually, the platelet party gets out of control and fills your entire artery. And that spells trouble for you (otherwise known as a heart attack).

So how does kiwifruit do its good? Each one packs plenty of heart-helping nutrition: It contains more vitamin C than an orange, beats bananas for potassium, and is chock-full of magnesium. Even better, they're surprisingly easy to eat (thanks, nature, for yet another easy, earth-friendly package!): Just slice one in half and scoop out the insides with a spoon, like you would a melon.
