Kiwifruit

The kiwifruit is a berry that is commonly used to aid digestion. It's high in digestive enzymes, including actinidain, a protease. This enzyme aids in protein digestion and is commercially utilized to tenderize tough foods. Furthermore, kiwifruit has a variety of enzymes that aid in fruit ripening. Actinidain, according to scientists, is one of the reasons why kiwifruits appear to assist digestion. An animal study discovered that including kiwifruit in the diet enhanced stomach digestion of beef, gluten, and soy protein isolates.

This was attributed to its actinidain concentration. Another animal research looked at how actinidain affected digestion. It fed some animals kiwifruit that had active actinidain and other animals kiwifruit that did not contain active actinidain. Animals fed kiwifruit containing active actinidain digested meat more effectively, according to the findings. The meat also passed more quickly through the stomach. Much human-based research has also discovered that kiwifruit assists digestion, lowers bloating, and aids in constipation relief.
