Papaya Seeds, Peel, Fruit- Your Answer For All These Ailments

This fruit is available in all seasons and is super affordable for us all. Papaya is a superhero when it comes to its beneficial properties, be it for health or for beauty. Here are benefits that we feel you could reap:

Health Benefits

Protect Your Heart

Papaya is amazing for your cholesterol when it clogs and narrows your arteries. It is rich in vitamins B, C, E, beta-carotene and lycopene which in turn helps reduce the oxidation of cholesterol within your body's arteries. Increase the intake of this fruit and improve the blood flow to your heart. This will reduce the chances of heart attack and stroke! 

Digestion

Poor digestion? Then papaya is your answer. It has healing powers which take off the stress from your digestive system. This, in turn, helps you metabolise and break down foods faster. In Sri Lanka, this fruit is had for breakfast, a great way to start your morning perhaps.

Diabetes

Don't fret over the sugar content this fruit has! It is sweet but then it is the healthy sweet as one can call it. An amazing source of antioxidants, papaya is a practical and affordable choice for anyone seeking a guilt-free treat. 

Fight Cancer

Papaya is a nutrient-rich fruit, which is known to help protect the body's natural defence. It is super rich in antioxidants and it is combined with cancer-fighting lycopene and carotenoid called beta-cryptoxanthin, which has proven to protect against lung cancer.

Anti-Inflammatory

As coined by Christopher Columbus, papaya is the 'fruit of the angels' because of its amazing anti-inflammatory powers. The soothing properties in the fruit can help relieve pain from ailments like oedema, arthritis and osteoporosis.

Menstrual Irregularities

Have you been experiencing menstrual irregularities? Then papaya is your answer. It helps with the painful cramps and is delicious as well, so why not chomp on a bowl of fresh papaya?  

Flatten Your Stomach

Want to shed that extra layer on your tummy to fit into your favourite clothes? Then make friends with papaya dear ladies! This amazing fruit contains a super enzyme called papain which helps in promoting faster digestion and also relieves constipation. Just a cup is only 55 calories so there is nothing to lose right?

Eye Health

Just like carrots, papaya provides us with carotenoids. It is rich in beta-carotene, which makes it a fab way to help against age-related degeneration and cataracts.
 

Beauty Benefits

Glowing Skin

Papaya has special enzymes called papain which act as an exfoliation agent by breaking down the surface of the skin cells, lock in moisture, reduce pore size and keep the wrinkles at bay.

Anti-Ageing

Look no further ladies, this fruit is magic! How? It has an abundance of natural alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), which helps makes the skin look brighter, plumper and smoother, and do not forget how affordable it is! Papaya hydrates the skin and increases the elasticity and suppleness.

Reduce Unwanted Hair

Papain enzyme from the peel of papaya can inhibit hair growth. All you have to do is rub the peel of unripe green papaya on the skin gently for a minute and let it be for good 20n minutes and rinse. You can repeat this every day provided you do not get any side effects. Do a patch test before you get on with it as herbal packs have a different effect on different skin types.

Exfoliate Dead Skin

Papain enzyme magically restores the even-toned look of your skin as it sheds the dead skin cells. Which is why you would notice that most scrubs have papaya in them.

Moisturising Dry Skin

Use the pulp of ripe papaya fruit which provides hydration and nutrition to the skin as it contains water, carbohydrate, and fat. To hydrate your skin, use the pulp of ripe papaya and not the unripe one. 

Heal Cuts & Burns

Now, this fruit has been extensively researched that too for its healing benefits. The papain enzyme also keeps the bacteria away and this prevents the scar from growing or getting bigger. All you have to do is rub the fresh fruit on the fresh wounds to promote a speedy recovery.
