Eating more fruit over the summer will help your body cool down. I've also noticed that I'm digesting fruit in the morning better now than brown rice porridge! Must be the change in season. I like this simple and quick way to enjoy a nice fruity breakfast. I got the papaya from Trader Joe's (Caribbean Red Papaya) and organic berries from whole foods. Enjoy this with a nice hot cup of kukicha tea :)
Benefits of Papayas
Digestion
Besides the great amount of antioxidants in papayas like Vitamin C, E, and betacarotenes, the proteolytic enzymes found in papayas are very important to digest food. The main enzyme papain helps to break down protein and helps treats bloating and chronic indigestion. You can even find the papaya enzymes in tablet form but it's always better to eat it naturally straight from the fruit.
Cleanser
A natural cleanser for your colon is drinking a quarter pint of papaya juice, cucumber juice, and green bean juice intermittently for 12 hours. Papaya is also very rich in fiber binding itself to cancer-causing toxins and flushing itself from the colon.
Inflammation
As previously mentioned, papain breaks down protein which also breaks down protein in the skin. Therefore ingestion can help move dead skin and treat skin injuries, psoriasis, warts, ringworms, and cold sores. This in combination with its high levels of antioxidants makes papayas great for your skin.
