Papaya Health Benefits


There are many papaya benefits for your health and this beautiful orange/yellow tropical fruit is proof that nutritious food can also have an amazing taste.

Papaya has high nutritional benefit. . It is rich in Anti-oxidants, the B vitamins, folate and pantothenic acid; and the minerals, potassium and magnesium; and fiber. Papaya is a rich source of vitamin C, Folate, Potassium, dietary fibre, vitamin A, vitamin E and vitamin K.

Papayas contain soft, easily digestible flesh with a good amount of soluble dietary fiber that helps to have normal bowel movements; thereby reducing constipation.
Papaya may therefore be a healthy fruit choice for preventing such illnesses as recurrent ear infections, colds and flu. The juice of the papaya aids in relieving infections of the colon and has a tendency to break down pus and mucus reached by the juice.papayas may be very helpful for the prevention of atherosclerosis and diabetic heart disease.

The seeds are antihelmintic, for expelling worms and they are given with honey. Chew and swallow two teaspoonfuls of seeds after each principal meal (three times a day). Extracts of ripe and unripe papaya fruits and of the seeds have been found to be active against gram-positive bacteria, and in strong doses against gram-negative bacteria.

The leaves are poulticed onto nervous pains and elephantoid growths. They are also dried and infused to make a tea which is used as a vermifuge, an amoebicide, a purgative, to prevent and treat malaria, and as a treatment for stomach troubles and genito-urinary ailments.

Regular use of the fresh fruit on the face often leads to an improvement in the tone, texture and appearance of our skin and even a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles. Papaya is a great skin-firming and anti-aging mask. Mash the uneaten Papaya with or without milk and apply on your face.
