Kiwi Smoothie for Better Sleep: Fact or Fiction?

Sleepless in Vienna? A viral video promotes a kiwi-coconut smoothie as a sleep aid, but is the science sound? A recent TikTok video originating from Austria has garnered attention for its simple recipe: a blend of kiwis and coconut water, claimed to improve sleep quality. The creator, known only as "fitanonymus," asserts that kiwis' high antioxidant and serotonin content, combined with coconut water's electrolytes, promote relaxation and better sleep. While some studies suggest a link between kiwi consumption and improved sleep, the video lacks specific scientific references to support its claims. Experts caution against relying solely on anecdotal evidence and suggest consulting a healthcare professional before making significant dietary changes for sleep improvement. The video's popularity highlights the public's ongoing search for natural sleep remedies, but underscores the need for critical evaluation of online health advice. Further research is needed to validate the smoothie's efficacy as a sleep aid.
