Health and science journalist Max Lugavere joins Hoda and Jenna to talk about power foods that can improve your health and wellness, including kiwis to promote sleep, strawberries for anti-aging and coffee to help cardiovascular health.
With their bright green flesh and uniquely sweet and seedy texture, kiwis certainly leave an impression. But how do kiwis affect your health? As it turns out, these colorful fruits give you a ton of important nutrients that can aid in immunity, gut health, skin health, heart health and more, dietitians tell TODAY.com. For starters, kiwis pack 'lots and lots of vitamin C,' Grace Derocha, registered dietitian and spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, tells TODAY.com.
Plus, for their size, kiwifruits are actually one of the highest-fiber fruits you could reach for. And if you have trouble getting to sleep, you may want to end your day with a fruit bowl featuring kiwi and some tart cherries. As Wegman explains, there is research to suggest the high serotonin content in kiwis may help people get better rest at night. Can you eat the skin of a kiwi? Yes, you can! 'You do not have to peel a kiwi,' Wegman says.
