Kiwis can help you sleep better
Kiwis are a miracle fruit! This fruit contains vitamin C and is full of serotonin, a hormone that soothes, relaxes, and helps you fall asleep! In fact, a study conducted by the Taiwanese Taipei Medical University claims that kiwis can make it 35% easier to fall asleep and increase the duration of sleep by 15%. Not insignificant figures!
Kiwis are also rich in fibre. They are perfect for boosting digestion and preventing you from falling asleep feeling heavy and bloated.
If you have problems falling asleep, kiwis could be your new ally.
