Three Kiwis a Day: Norwegian Research Links Kiwifruit to Lower Blood Pressure

In Norway, doctors prescribe three kiwis daily to patients managing high blood pressure.

Norwegian researchers identified a clear link between kiwifruit and low blood pressure in 2020. They conducted a study on the effects of eating three kiwis a day for men and women with hypertension.

This nutrient-dense fruit is rich in lutein, a compound that supports disease prevention, and potassium, which helps regulate blood pressure levels.

Kiwi is also packed with vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that protects LDL cholesterol—the 'bad' kind—from oxidation.
