Currently, papayas are in abundant supply, and the yellow, juicy flesh of papaya is mouthwatering. For people with poor gastrointestinal function, papaya can also help with digestion.
The milky juice in papaya contains a protein-digesting enzyme called "papain," which, like gastric and pancreatic enzymes, can break down proteins. Therefore, eating papaya after a meal can aid digestion and have a therapeutic effect on gastroenteritis and indigestion.
In addition to its digestive properties, papain can also decompose and remove the aging keratin layer on the surface of the skin, which is why it is often used in cosmetics. Papaya is also rich in beta-carotene, a natural antioxidant that can effectively combat the oxidation of cells throughout the body and neutralize the oxygen free radicals that accelerate aging. Therefore, regularly eating papaya has the benefits of skincare, beauty, and slowing down the aging process.
