Papaya

Papayas are rich in antioxidants, phytonutrients, vitamins, minerals, and special digestive enzymes that have a remarkable effect on proper digestion and overall health.

Cancer

Cancer is one of the world's leading killers. Papaya can be very beneficial for reducing your risk of developing certain types of cancers. Studies suggest that the proteolytic enzymes in papaya can digest the fibrin protein layer of cancer cells that usually surrounds and protects them, leaving the cancerous cells more susceptible to the body’s immune response. The papaya also contains isothiocyanates which may help prevent cancer by eliminating potential carcinogens from our bodies and enhancing the action of tumor suppressing proteins and lycopene, which research has shown to have anticancer properties.[9] 

Gastrointestinal Problems

Undigested proteins can lead to many health issues, such as gastrointestinal problems and an overgrowth of flatulence causing bacteria in the colon. The enzymes in papaya can improve digestion by breaking down proteins into their individual amino acids.

Wrinkles

Papayas are a great source of antioxidant vitamin C, vitamin E and carotenoids, nutrients which can help protect your skin against free radicals known to cause damage that leads to wrinkles and signs of aging.
