When i transitioned into a plant based diet, i started eating fruits and veggies that i never used to like as a kid. Papaya was one of them… it tasted like pharmaceutical pills to me!
Turns out it’s medicine and here’s why:
Papaya is a powerful fruit packed with nutrients and health benefits, making it a favorite for weight loss, detox and menstrual cramps.
1. Weight Loss
Low in Calories, High in Fiber: Papaya is low in calories and rich in fiber, which helps you feel full for longer and promotes healthy digestion.
Boosts Metabolism: The enzyme papain aids in breaking down proteins and improving metabolism.
Natural Diuretic: Papaya helps reduce bloating by flushing out excess water and toxins.
2. Womb Health
Rich in Enzymes: The enzymes in papaya, especially papain, can help reduce inflammation in the womb and support a healthy menstrual cycle.
Regulates Periods: Unripe papaya has been traditionally used to stimulate the uterus and regulate menstrual flow.
Nutrient-Rich: Papaya contains vitamin C, folate, and antioxidants that are essential for womb health and overall fertility.
3. Detoxifying with Papaya Seeds
Natural Parasite Cleanser: Papaya seeds contain compounds like carpaine that help eliminate intestinal parasites.
Liver Detox: The seeds support liver detoxification by flushing out toxins.
Aids Digestion: Papaya seeds improve gut health, which is key to overall detoxification.
How to Use Papaya and Seeds
For Weight Loss: Enjoy papaya as a snack, in smoothies, or as a salad topping. Use it as a natural dessert substitute.
For Womb Health: Add fresh papaya to your diet regularly, especially around your cycle. Avoid unripe papaya during pregnancy.
For Detox: Dry the seeds and grind them into a powder. Consume a teaspoon with water, honey, or in smoothies for 7 days to cleanse your system.
Precautions
Avoid consuming large amounts of papaya seeds, as they can be strong and potentially harmful in excess.
Pregnant wom(b)en should avoid unripe papaya and large quantities of papaya seeds due to their uterine-stimulating properties.
