Papayas offer not only the luscious taste and sunlit color of the tropics, but are rich sources of antioxidant nutrients such as carotenes, vitamin C and flavonoids; the B vitamins, folate and pantothenic acid; and the minerals, potassium and magnesium; and fiber. Together, these nutrients promote the health of the cardiovascular system and also provide protection against colon cancer. In addition, papaya contains the digestive enzyme, papain, which is used like bromelain, a similar enzyme found in pineapple, to treat sports injuries, other causes of trauma, and allergies.
Papayas provide the following health benefits:
1) Protection Against Heart Disease
2) Promotes Digestive Health
3) Anti-Inflammatory Effects
4) Immune Support
5) Protection against Macular Degeneration
6) Protection against Rheumatoid Arthritis
7) Promote Lung Health
