1. Improves absorption capability

Papain from papaya helps break down proteins and lowers the chance of indigestion.

2. Anti-ageing benefits

The alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) in papaya make the skin look brighter, plumper and smoother. Eat papaya regularly as this can hydrate the skin due to its low sodium content.

3. Reduces cholesterol levels

Papaya contains fibres that help remove low-density lipoprotein from the body.

4. Controls irregular periods

Papaya is anti-inflammatory in nature; it can alleviate painful period cramps. The carotene in papaya encourages uterine contractions and induces periods. It also increases estrogen hormone production.
