Papaya is useful to the digestive system
When papaya seeds are consumed, they are able to get rid of intestinal worms. The seeds kill these worms preventing any complications that may arise in the stomach as their result. Papaya fibers prevent constipation and assist in food digestion. An enzyme known as papain and found in papaya also helps in natural food digestion.

Papaya assists in weight loss
If you ever dream of losing weight, one of the foods to include in your diet is papaya. They are low in calories but with high nutritional value and therefore, can ensure effective reduction of body fats.


Papaya helps in reduction of cancers
