The efficacy and function of papaya

Many of you have grown papayas at home, right? We eat a lot of papayas, but how many people have studied the effects and functions of papayas? Today, let me introduce the effects and functions of papayas to you. Fruit papaya is a small red papaya. Papaya is a species of the genus Carica papaya in the family Caricae, and is a perennial semi-woody plant. Papaya has a wide range of uses, bears fruit quickly (usually it can be picked in about 8 months), and has high yields. Papaya is known as the "longevity fruit" in China and is rich in nutrients.

The efficacy and function of papaya

1. Strengthen the spleen and help digestion. The papain in papaya can break down fat into fatty acids. It contains an enzyme that can digest protein, which is beneficial for the body to digest and absorb food, so it has the effect of strengthening the spleen and helping digestion.

2. Fight against diseases and kill insects. When we were young, we would take those drugs to kill roundworms. Now you might as well try papaya. Papaya alkaloids and papain have the effect of fighting tuberculosis bacteria and parasites such as tapeworms, roundworms, whipworms, and amoebas.

3. Breast enlargement. Many female friends envy others for having big breasts. Some female friends with underdeveloped breasts can eat more papaya. The rennet in papaya can promote lactation and thus enlarge breasts.

4. Supplement nutrition and improve disease resistance. Papaya contains a lot of water, protein, fat, multiple vitamins and multiple essential amino acids for the human body, which can effectively supplement the body's nutrients and enhance the body's disease resistance.

Tips

1. When buying papaya, we choose those with darker yellow color, which will taste sweeter. Generally, if the surface is green, it is not ripe and naturally tastes not very sweet.

2. Choose papayas with sticky gum on the skin, which is sugar gum. Such papayas are usually very sweet.

3. When choosing papaya, we can also smell it. Generally, ripe papaya is very fragrant, while those unripe papayas naturally have no smell, so don’t buy those.
