2/5
Boosts digestive health: Kiwifruit stores a good amount of proteolytic enzyme actinidin, a protein-dissolving enzyme which improves the digestion of proteins and can help digest a meal much like the papain in papaya or bromelain in pineapple. It facilitates smooth traffic through the digestive system.(Shutterstock)

Natural sleeping aid: Kiwifruit is a source of serotonin which helps to promote better sleep. The consumption of kiwi may also help in improving the sleep onset and reducing the waking time after the onset. Kiwi consumption also provides relief from sleep disturbances. The peel of kiwi is a potent ingredient for the development of natural sleeping aids.(Pixabay)

Supports pregnant women’s health: Kiwi is a good source of folate (vitamin B6), which is beneficial for pregnant women because it helps in the development of the fetus, making it healthy. It is also considered to be good for growing children.(Pixabay)

For bone health: Folate, magnesium and Vitamin E are all well represented in kiwifruit, offering a range of health benefits including bone formation. Vitamin K also has a potential role in the bone mass building by promoting autotrophic activity in the bone.(Pixabay)
