The Greatness of Papaya – Healthy and Great Tasting

Papaya is a great tasting fruit that is common around the world but not so much in North America. It’s a shame because the taste and texture of Papaya is great but the health benefits are also fantastic for all of us.

Papaya Vitamins and Antioxidants

A serving of Papaya has 14% of our daily requirement of Folate (Vitamin B9)and some other B vitamins, as well as 11% of our Potassium.

Papayas also contain healthy antioxidants called carotenoids that are better absorbed than other sources into our body. They are especially high in a type of carotenoid called lycopene. Lycopene is shown to be good for our eyes, bones, brain, and a healthy heart.

Benefits of Papaya

Cancer Help – When we talk about gut health, Papayas Lyocpene has been shown to reduce cancer cells in the stomach as well as help heal from cancer treatments.

Eye Health – There are two things in the Papaya that help eyes. Lycopene of course as stated earlier but also Zeaxanthin which has been shown to reduce macular degeneration and protecting the eyes

Tooth Aches – If you can find the root of a papaya plant you can make a  make a paste and massage it on your teeth and gums for few minutes it will stop that sharp pain. Inner bark of a papaya can also be used as an alternative to roots.

Weight Loss – I have found a Papaya based diet that involves even the eating of the seeds to help to detoxify and lose weight – not sure how well this works as I have not tried it myself at all

Bone Health – The Vitamin K in Papaya is great for bone health and helps with Calcium absorption which is critical for our bones staying strong as we age.

Nice Shiny Hair – You have probably seen Papaya based shampoo before and that is because not only does it smell great but also the Vitamin A in it is a nutrient required for sebum production in the scalp, which keeps hair moisturized

Digestion – There is an enzyme in Papayas called papain that aids digestion. Often when people want to improve their digestion they will take some kind of digestive enzymes, however these are built right into this fruit

Skin care – This is a bit different. When you rub Papaya on a burn the papain in it will help to heal the burn. Some hospitals have even found this enzyme helpful for bedsores and other skin irritations.

Papaya Recipes

I found this great tasting Papaya recipe on YouTube for a Thai Papaya salad

Also there is also a lot of other ways to prepare papayas. Here are a bunch of Papaya recipes at the Food Network

Handy Weight Loss Supplements and Herbs for Delightful Results

If you want to drop those extra pounds that always make you feel uncomfortable, there are umpteen ways to try now. While you may be tempted to go for “quick fixes” and easy solutions, you need to be thoughtful and knowledgeable about what approach you take towards weight loss. Some methods may be rewarding, whereas others may end up harming you.

If you think of supplements and herbal remedies, you may find many mixed reviews. When it comes to alternative medicines, some are proven to be effective, whereas others have no scientific backing at all. That is why you should always discuss with your physician before you try anything.

FDA has cracked down the facts about some traditional weight loss supplements. There are many dietary supplements, which are primarily treated as food supplements to promote weight loss. Let’s further discuss a few such supplements that can help you lose weight effectively.

  • Chitosan

It is a sugar variant, which is derived from the hard outer shell of crabs, shrimp, and lobsters. Some studies have shown that Chitosan is effective in blocking fat from getting absorbed by the body in the form of cholesterol.

Even though the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health states that this supplement is effective in weight loss, no concrete proof has yet been presented. Chitosan does not cause long-term side effects, but some people reported upset stomach and constipation.

  • Garcinia Cambogia and Apple Cider Vinegar

You can see many mixed Garcinia cambogia and apple cider vinegar reviews online. Garcinia cambogia is basically a tropical fruit, which is also called Malabar tamarind. It is said to have effects in blocking the body’s ability to make fat and curb appetite. It also keeps the sugar and cholesterol levels in check.

Apple cider vinegar helps in decreasing obesity and helps the body to regulate metabolism and maintain fitness. In many cases, reduction of waist circumference and waist-to-hip ratio is observed with regular use of apple cider vinegar.

  • Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA)

It is another popular supplement that contains the fatty acid known as linoleic acid. It is proven to have positive effects in curbing the body fat and help individuals feel full. It is said that consumption of about 1.8 to 6.8 grams of CLA a day may strengthen muscles and reduce body fat.

  • Glucomannan

This supplement is made from konjac plant. Like any dietary fiber, Glucomannan also helps you lose weight by effectively blocking fat absorption in the body. You can find Glucomannan in the form of capsule or powder. It also to be noted that Glucomannan may make it hard to absorb other medications. So, you need to consume other medicine either an hour before or four hours after taking Glucomannan.

Many other natural supplements are effective in weight loss such as green tea extract, green coffee extract, Guar Gum, Hoodia, 7-Keto-DHEA, Ephedra. However, always ensure that you discuss it in detail with your healthcare provider before trying out any of these.

Kenny Weiss is a naturopathy expert and dietitian who works for a leading alternative health care practice in the United States. After carrying out several studies, he posted many Garcinia cambogia and apple cider vinegar reviews online.
