Kiwi is great

Antioxidant properties of Kiwi Fruit

"It is important to note that kiwi fruits contain a remarkable amount of Vitamin C, E and A.

Vitamin C is a water-soluble antioxidant that has been proven to protect our body from free radicals, dramatically improving the health of individuals who consumed it regularly against all kinds of disease, from cardiovascular problems to cancer and obesity."

"Vitamin E has been proven to have similar effects, but is fat-soluble and thus is complimentary to Vitamin C in its functions. Kiwi fruits contain both these vitamins in high amount, which help protect our body against free radicals from all fronts."

Kiwi is a great snack to have during a workout. The antioxidant properties will help speed up recovery and give you an energy kick from a NATURAL source.
