Eat a Papaya and Reap the Benefits!

By Fredrick Baxter

The food we eat can affect us positively or even negatively. Too often, many people will go their entire lives without learning how what they eat impacts them. By taking the time to understand how different foods can benefit us or harm us we can better manage what we eat, and eat according to the needs of our body.

A food you eat or foods you are eating may be adversely affecting your health. Without understanding how your eating habits affect your body, you may unknowingly be doing yourself harm. Certain foods do certain things, and in the end you are what you eat!

The food you eat often has nutritional, as well as medicinal value. Knowing what the benefits are helps you choose to eat food that fits with what your body needs at the time. If you have a cold, instead of reaching for that tub of chocolate ice cream (which wouldn't help at all) try eating something spicy with cayenne pepper.

What are the benefits of papaya by the way? The papaya is very nutrient rich, and contains vitamins A, C, E, as well as potassium, folate, fiber, calcium, iron, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, lutein, lycopene, zeaxathin and digestive enzymes.
