Beautiful Food™ Inner Beauty Benefits of Papaya

Papaya is a versatile, healthy, tropical fruit--the sum of all of it's parts, the leaves, fruit, seed and latex all offer significant benefits each in it's own different way!

Inner beauty benefits of Papaya are derived from the fruit and latex sap in the leaves, which contain a proleactic digestive enzyme called papain. Extract from papaya leaves is often used as an ingredient in soap for cleansing your skin.

Papaya fruit have a beautiful color, aroma and texture, eaten raw straight from the fruit skin you will experience a positive impact on your digestion from the enzyme papain naturally occurring in papaya which helps break down protein and remains active even in more acidic conditions in the body. 

Papain along with vitamin C, vitamin E, and beta-carotene, found in papaya are also very good at reducing inflammation in your body, allowing your natural bone structure to emerge. When the organs in your body are less puffy and swollen from inflammation you see more natural beauty in your body shape.

I love eating fresh papaya fruit sprinkled with fresh lime juice it reminds me of being in Asia when I tried this combination for the first time!
