Eat a Papaya and Reap the Benefits!

By Fredrick Baxter

There is huge benefits to knowing what food is good for what. It's funny that we will go years and maybe a whole lifetime without learning what the food we are eating does to our body. By sitting down and learning just for a short while, you can understand how the food you eat affects your body, positively, or negatively.

It goes without saying that you are what you eat. Eat junk and you'll feel like junk. If you don't know anything about how the food you eat affect you, your eating habits may unknowingly be causing you harm. Without knowing it, a food you like to eat may be hindering your health.

The foods you eat have nutritional, and often medicinal value. Eating something spicy like cayenne pepper can be much more beneficial than eating a bowl of ice cream (which wouldn't be beneficial) when you have a cold. By knowing what the value and benefits of the foods you eat are, you can better adapt your diet to what you need at the time.

Papaya is an extremely nutritional fruit. What does it contain exactly? Papaya is rich in vitamins A, C, E, potassium, fiber, folate, iron, calcium, thiamine, niacin, riboflavin, lycopene, lutein, zeaxathin, as well as digestive enzymes.

If you frequently suffer from indigestion, acid reflux, constipation, or gastrointestinal distress, papaya is the fruit for you. It is not only nutritionally rich, but it also does wonders for your overall digestive health.

If packing a huge nutritional punch and improving your digestive system isn't enough, papaya also cleans out your lymph system, helps your heart, and it fights infections.

The next time you are thinking about grabbing a candy bar crammed with calories, do yourself a favor and eat a papaya. Papaya is low in calories, and it's good for you!
