Studies in Italy, though, performed on **7 year old children, have also demonstrated additional health benefits to the respiratory tract. In particular, children that were fed **7 portions a week of citrus and kiwifruits had *4% less probability wheezing compared to children eating less than once a week.
Shortness of breath was reduced by *2%, night time cough by *7%, severe wheeze by *1%, chronic cough by *5%, and runny nose by *8%. This results is not only traceable to the content in Vitamin C or Potassium, but in substances which are still largely unknown contained in kiwi fruit.
These substances are most likely flavonoids that help protect our cells from oxidative damage, and are therefore considered very helpful in protecting our DNA from mutations and damage.
