Papaya: gut healer

If you have any stomach or intestinal disorder, papaya is the best ally. It can help with colitis, Crohn's disease, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) , ulcers, diverticulitis, gastritis, stomach cramps, liver disease and pancreatitis. Papayas also destroy Helicobacter pylori, Clostridium difficile and Escherichia coli, as well as rid the intestines of other hostile bacteria and parasites, including worms. Papaya is an ideal food if you have problems with small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) .

Papaya is one of the most digestible fruits. Each papaya contains more than 500 undiscovered powerful digestive enzymes that support the pancreas, aid digestion and strengthen the walls of the intestinal tract, reducing inflammation and preventing scarring.

Papaya's combined amino acids and enzymes create undiscovered phytochemicals that help repel pathogens. Papaya also contains powerful and as yet undiscovered coenzymes that increase the alkalinity of the intestinal tract.

Papaya helps relieve constipation. If you suffer from stomach pain or inflamed intestinal mucosa, papaya will be your ally in treating the irritated nerve endings that contribute to these ailments.

When someone has gone through a period of food deprivation, whether from starvation, anorexia or severe illness, blenderized papaya is like magic to the nutrition process because it offers enough calories, optimal nutrition, and is digested so favorably.

Papaya is also a miracle remedy for the skin. This fruit has the properties of a fountain of youth and counteracts wrinkles thanks to its high content of vitamins, minerals and above all carotenoids. Not only can it help your skin to glow again, but it is also extremely effective for eczema, psoriasis and acne .

Consumption tips:

If you can, look for the Mexican and Central American variety of papaya known as Maradol. These medium and large papaya fruits are preferable to Hawaiian varieties that are contaminated with GMOs. To relieve constipation, eat half a papaya daily.
