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.
