❤️ 4. Seeds with Detox and Antiparasitic Power
While most people throw away papaya seeds, they are actually loaded with nutrients and medicinal compounds.
They contain benzyl isothiocyanate, which has been shown to have anti-parasitic and liver-protective effects.
A study in the Journal of Medicinal Food (2011) found that children given dried papaya seeds had a significant reduction in intestinal parasites compared to those who took a placebo — a natural detox without harmful chemicals.
How to use: Dry the seeds, crush them into powder, and add a small amount to smoothies (in moderation, due to their strong flavor).
🩸 5. Boosts Immunity and Reduces Inflammation
Papaya is rich in antioxidants such as carotenoids and flavonoids that fight oxidative stress — one of the key causes of premature aging and chronic disease.
Research published in Molecular Nutrition & Food Research (2012) confirmed that regular consumption of papaya can lower inflammation markers in the body and support immune defense.
