    Here are some reasons why you should eat papayas

    What's the story

    Papaya, the orange-colored fleshy fruit, is known for its distinct and juicy taste.

    Filled with folate, fiber, protein, vitamins A and C, magnesium, potassium, beta-carotene and many other essential nutrients, this fruit is capable of providing several benefits to your body.

    Read on to discover the most important health benefits associated with this fruit.

    Eye health

    Regular consumption of papaya is good for your eyes

    Vitamin A, an antioxidant, is important for your eyes. This vitamin helps protect the corneas and reduces the degeneration of the retina.

    Papaya, rich in Vitamin A, is hence one of the most effective fruits for improving eye health.

    Regular consumption of papaya provides overall vision protection, prevents your eyesight from deteriorating, and keeps your vision almost perfect.

    Antioxidants

    Papaya contains antioxidants, that can fight free radicals

    Rich in antioxidants, papayas can help your body fight disease-causing free radicals and oxidative stress.

    The fruit contains carotenoids and other powerful antioxidants, that can neutralize free radicals.

    In fact, many studies have found that the lycopene content in papaya, and its ability to remove excess iron, helps in reducing the body's levels of oxidative stress.

    Heart health

    Consumption of papaya may reduce risk of heart disease

    The significant levels of fiber, antioxidants and potassium make papaya a great fruit for the heart.

    The adequate levels of vitamin C and lycopene in papaya can help improve heart health, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

    Its consumption helps in lowering sodium and increasing potassium in the body, which may reduce the risk of heart disease.

    Digestion

    Papayas can also improve digestion

    Papaya has high amount of water in it, which helps in improving the process of digestion, reducing bloating and easing constipation.

    Further, it contains fiber, which is great for the digestive system as it encourages regular bowel activity and may also help lower the risk of colon cancer.

    Additionally, the papain enzyme in papayas can make it easier to digest protein-rich food.
