THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF PAPAYA FOR DETOX, MENSTRUAL CRAMPS AND MORE...

Indulging in some papaya after a hair wash day :)

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

1. For Weight Loss: Enjoy papaya as a snack, in smoothies, or as a salad topping. Use it as a natural dessert substitute.

2. For Womb Health: Add fresh papaya to your diet regularly, especially around your cycle. Avoid unripe papaya during pregnancy.

3. 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.
