Papaya is a tropical fruit that originated in southern Mexico but is now grown in all tropical regions. It is a fruit rich in fiber and it lowers cholesterol levels, thus helping to prevent heart disease.
Papaya is rich in antioxidants which help control premature aging. The enzyme papain it contains is a digestive enzyme that facilitates natural digestion. At the same time, it is rich in vitamin A and vitamin C that boost the immune system. Last, but no least, it should be noted that a regular consumption of papaya particularly helps pregnant women to deal with morning sickness efficiently.
