Papaya is an incredibly healthy tropical fruit.
It is fortified with antioxidants that can reduce inflammation, fight disease and help you look younger.
Here are 5 health benefits that papaya fruit offers.
Delicious and fortified with nutrients
Papaya is the fruit of the Carica papaya plant.
It originates from Central America and South Mexico, but is now cultivated in many other parts of the world.
Papaya contains an enzyme called papain, which can break down the hard protein chains found in muscle meat. Because of this, people have used papaya to soften meat for thousands of years.
If the papaya is ripe, it can be eaten raw. However, unripe papaya should always be cooked before eating - especially during pregnancy, as wild fruits are high in latex, which can cause contractions.
Papaya has a shape similar to pears and can be up to 51 cm long. Its skin is green when it is barren and orange when it is mature, while the flesh is yellow, orange or red.
Papaya also contains healthy antioxidants, known as carotenoids - especially a type called lycopene.
In addition, your body absorbs these beneficial antioxidants better than papaya than other fruits and vegetables.
It has strong antioxidant effects
Free radicals are reactive molecules that are created during metabolism. They can contribute to oxidative stress, which can lead to disease.
Antioxidants, including the carotenoids present in papaya, can neutralize free radicals.
Studies show that sugary papaya can reduce oxidative stress in older adults and people with prediabetes, mild hypothyroidism and liver disease.
Also, many researchers believe that excessive free radicals in the brain are an important factor in Alzheimer's disease.
In one study, people with Alzheimer's who received a fermented papaya extract for six months had a 40% drop in a biomarker indicating oxidative DNA damage - and it was also linked to aging and cancer.
The reduction in oxidative stress is due to the papaya's lycopene content and the ability to remove excess iron, which is known to produce free radicals.
It can improve heart health
Adding more papaya to your diet can boost your heart health.
Studies show that fruits high in lycopene and vitamin C can help prevent heart disease.
The antioxidants in papaya can protect your heart and enhance the protective effects of "good" HDL cholesterol.
In one study, people who took fermented papaya supplement for 14 weeks had less inflammation and a better "bad" LDL versus "good" HDL ratio than people who took placebo.
An improved ratio is associated with a reduced risk of heart disease
It can fight inflammation
Chronic inflammation is the root of many diseases, and unwanted foods and poor lifestyle choices can lead to the inflammatory process.
Studies show that fruits and vegetables rich in antioxidants such as papaya help reduce inflammatory markers.
For example, one study found that men who increased their intake of fruits and vegetables high in carotenoids had a significant reduction in CRP, a specific marker of inflammation.
