Kiwifruit Sleep Quality Meta-AnalysisThis internal clock synchronizes with external environmental cues, primarily light, but emerging evidence suggests that food intake patterns also serve as important zeitgebers (time‐givers) (Cedernaes et al. ).3Abou‐Khalil Rony (2025)Nutritional Interventions for Enhancing Sleep Quality: The Role of Diet and Key Nutrients in Regulating Sleep Patterns and Disorders
Kiwifruit Sleep Quality Meta-Analysis2025 2017 2017 2012 1998 Micronutrients such as magnesium, zinc, and iron are critical for neurotransmitter regulation and have been associated with improvements in sleep quality and reductions in nocturnal awakenings (Zhang et al. ; Cherasse and Urade ; Gholipour Baradari et al. ; Abbasi et al. ).3Abou‐Khalil Rony (2025)Nutritional Interventions for Enhancing Sleep Quality: The Role of Diet and Key Nutrients in Regulating Sleep Patterns and Disorders
Kiwifruit Sleep Quality Meta-AnalysisSimilarly, polyphenols—especially flavonoids found in fruits, vegetables, and teas—exhibit antioxidative and anti‐inflammatory properties that may modulate sleep by influencing GABAergic pathways and reducing neuroinflammation (Bravo ).3Abou‐Khalil Rony (2025)Nutritional Interventions for Enhancing Sleep Quality: The Role of Diet and Key Nutrients in Regulating Sleep Patterns and Disorders
Kiwifruit Sleep Quality Meta-Analysis2015 Sleep is a fundamental biological process essential for maintaining optimal physical, emotional, and cognitive health.3Abou‐Khalil Rony (2025)Nutritional Interventions for Enhancing Sleep Quality: The Role of Diet and Key Nutrients in Regulating Sleep Patterns and Disorders
Kiwifruit Sleep Quality Meta-AnalysisBackground and aims Daily kiwifruit (KF) consumption has been associated with improved sleep quality, but underlying physiological mechanisms are unknown.4Kanon AP (2023)Acute effects of fresh versus dried Hayward green kiwifruit on sleep quality, mood, and sleep-related urinary metabolites in healthy young men with good and poor sleep quality.
Kiwifruit Sleep Quality Meta-AnalysisResults Regardless of sleep quality group, compared to control, morning sleepiness, alertness upon awakening, and vigor were improved ( p p p = 0.001; dried: +1.30 ± 0.4 ng/g, p = 0.004) urinary concentration of the serotonin metabolite 5-HIAA compared to the control (4.32 ± 0.4 ng/g).4Kanon AP (2023)Acute effects of fresh versus dried Hayward green kiwifruit on sleep quality, mood, and sleep-related urinary metabolites in healthy young men with good and poor sleep quality.
Kiwifruit Sleep Quality Meta-AnalysisIn poor sleepers, ease of awakening improved by 24% after dried KF consumption ( p = 0.005) and tended to improve by 13% after fresh KF intake ( p = 0.052) compared to the control.4Kanon AP (2023)Acute effects of fresh versus dried Hayward green kiwifruit on sleep quality, mood, and sleep-related urinary metabolites in healthy young men with good and poor sleep quality.
Kiwifruit Sleep Quality Meta-AnalysisThis study examined acute effects of fresh and dried green KF, compared with a water control, on sleep quality, mood, and urinary serotonin and melatonin metabolite concentrations.4Kanon AP (2023)Acute effects of fresh versus dried Hayward green kiwifruit on sleep quality, mood, and sleep-related urinary metabolites in healthy young men with good and poor sleep quality.
