================== ARTICLE START ==================

Constipation is a condition whereby the fecal matter traveling

through your colon remains too long in your colon before

traveling out of the rectum. You become aware that you are

constipated if you have difficulty passing motion or take a few

days to do one purge.

That said, if you are suffering from constipation, you have

been advised to eat more fruits and vegetables to increase your

fiber intake.

For fruit, have you considered having papaya as a constipation

remedy or including it as part of your regular diet?

As a natural remedy, papaya not only aids digestion but also

helps prevent constipation. It provides relief from piles and

also has anti-cancer properties. Papaya has also been shown to

lower cholesterol levels, prevents the formation of urinary

stones, prevents intestinal infection by parasites and aids in

the proper functioning of the body’s immune system. For

lactating mothers, according to traditional beliefs, papaya

also helps to stimulate milk production.

Papayas contain papain, an enzyme that helps digest proteins

(especially food with gluten). Concentrated amounts can

especially be found in unripe papaya. This enzyme helps prevent

the accumulation of mucoprotein (partially digested protein) in

the body and lymphatic system. In fact, papain has been

extracted to make dietary supplements for digestion. Thus, the

unripe papaya is considered to have more healing powers for

constipation than the ripe one.

Papayas are a good source of fiber. Its fiber is able to keep

cancer-causing toxins in the colon away from the healthy colon

cells. Those who are experiencing constipation or at risk of

colon cancer should consider taking more papaya. Papaya’s

folate, vitamin C, vitamin A, beta-carontene and vitamin E have

been linked with reduced risk of colon cancer.

Additionally, the antioxidant nutrients found in papaya have

also been proven to reduce muscle inflammation and the healing

of burns and wounds.

The papaya fruit is slightly sweet, with a musky smell to it.

It is now mainly cultivated in the warm tropical parts of the

world but can easily be found in many supermarkets.

To prevent constipation and for all stated health benefits,

here are three simple papaya recipes:

1. Papaya Milk Energy drink. Cut papaya and blend with milk in

a 50/50 mix. Add honey if desired. Papaya milk is a good energy

drink for growing children.

2. Papaya Salad (Thai Style). Shred green papaya and cut some

tomatoes. For dressing, add chopped garlic, 2 tablespoon fish

sauce, 1 tablespoon lime juice, cilantro, Thai basil, 1

teaspoon chopped mint, chili padi (optional) and sugar to

taste.

3. Unripe papaya juice. Peel off skin and put in blender. This

recipe is especially good for the lymphatic system and after a

meal that is heavy in gluten.

Including papaya as part of your regular diet is a great idea

for a healthy functioning body.
