Benefits of Papaya To The Human Body.

 When we hear Carica papaya,we think pawpaw which is of benefit to the human body both externally and internally. i remember then while growing up there used to be this lady whom was called Quincy very unfortunate that i cant remember her last name, she was an expert in making use of natures gifts i.e our roots,herbs and shrubs in improving the general health of the human body and also its effect in improving or outlook in terms of beauty and controlling acne and other skin diseases.

In one of her lectures she mentioned the pawpaw slimming therapy i have tested and tried it and discovered it to be true. just leaving on pawpaw for a week without anything including consumption of the seeds the fruits and leaves have be proven to be a good remedy in general weight loss burning excess fats from the body and also assist in replacing and replenishing the body of some adequate nutrient needed to prevent some diseases.

Below,are some disease which pawpaw helps to combat.

Protection Against Heart Disease

Papayas may be very helpful for the prevention of atherosclerosis and diabetic heart disease. Papayas are an excellent source of Vitamin C as well as a good source of vitamin E and vitamin A (through their concentration of pro-vitamin A carotene phyto nutrients), three very powerful antioxidants.
These nutrients help prevent the oxidation of cholesterol. Only when cholesterol becomes oxidized is it able to stick to and build up in blood vessel walls, forming dangerous plaques that can eventually cause heart attacks or strokes. One way in which dietary vitamin E and vitamin C may exert this effect is through their suggested association with a compound called paraoxonase, an enzyme that inhibits LDL cholesterol and HDL cholesterol oxidation

Promotes Digestive Health

The nutrients in papaya have also been shown to be helpful in the prevention of colon cancer. Papaya's fiber is able to bind to cancer-causing toxins in the colon and keep them away from the healthy colon cells. In addition, papaya's leaves, vitamin C, beta-carotene, and vitamin E have each been associated with a reduced risk of colon cancer.

Anti-Inflammatory Effects

Papaya contains several unique protein-digesting enzymes . These enzymes have been shown to help lower inflammation and to improve healing from burns. In addition, the antioxidant nutrients found in papaya, including vitamin C, vitamin E, and beta-carotene, are also very good at reducing inflammation. This may explain why people with diseases that are worsened by inflammation, such as asthma, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis, find that the severity of their condition is reduced when they get more of these nutrients.

Immune Support

Vitamin C and vitamin A, which is made in the body from the beta-carotene in papaya, are both needed for the proper function of a healthy immune system. Papaya may therefore be a healthy fruit choice for preventing such illnesses as recurrent ear infections, colds.

Regular consumption of papaya and green tea also reduce risk of prostrate cancer.

Skin Benefits

Apart from its health benfits,i have used some scrubs face cleanser made of papaya and it played an important role in reducing my acne and pimples those days when i used to suffer from the skin disease.
Papaya is the best bet when it comes to skin care. It is a good source of Vitamin A apart from the papain it contains. Vitamin A acts as an anti-oxidant, while the pa pain breaks down inactive proteins and removes dead skin cells(exfoliate) allowing the skin to posses this fresh look and radiant glow.. The best feature of the fruit is its low sodium quality.Since the salt content is less, the water retention is also little. The result is an overall hydrated skin.
