Papaya also known as
pawpaw is a cerise-orange coloured juicy fruit, which is not only fragrant and
delicious but also very healthy. It has been famous for hundreds of years and
it was once called the “fruit of the angels” by Christopher Columbus.
Papaya is a natural
source of vitamins and minerals that are essential for the normal functioning
of the body. It is famous for the luscious taste and sunlit colour of the
tropics and can be eaten as a fruit in raw form, a smoothie, a milkshake, and
as a vegetable in various recipes. Below are its amazing benefits:
Papayas are commonly
used to aid digestion. The presence of papain, a digestive super enzyme,
improves digestion by breaking down proteins and also cleanses the digestive
tract. This ensures a reduced conversion of protein into body fat. If the
protein in our diet is not digested properly, it may cause arthritis,
constipation, diabetes, high blood pressure and other related health
conditions.
Papayas are also good
for people who are trying to lose weight naturally. Having a bowl full of
papaya as a mid-evening or mid-morning snack is good for health.
Prevents
infections
Papayas are effective
for killing intestinal worms, thereby avoiding infections and complications
associated with them.
Researchers have
discovered that papayas are effective against chest, pancreatic and other
cancers. A papaya leaf extract obtained from dried leaves produced
anti-carcinogenic effects against tumour cells that were grown in the laboratory.
It was observed in a
study conducted by a University of Florida researcher Nam Dang, and his
colleagues in Japan, that the effects were stronger when the cells were given
larger doses of tea.
The scientists exposed
different types of cancer-affected cells to different papaya leaf extracts and
found that the growth of tumors had slowed down in all the cultures. The fruit
has gained credibility and has been used in many western medicines for its
anticancer powers.
Papayas can be great
revitalizing agents, which is why they are used in many cosmetics. Also,
papayas are used in homemade face masks by many women.
Papain kills dead cells
and purifies the skin. The beneficial properties and the healing enzymes
present in papaya help treat sunburn and irritated skin. A good facial massage
using papaya is a fabulous remedy to remove the dead cells.
