Papaya for Beauty


Did you know papaya can help you stay beautiful?

The cosmetic industry found that vitamin C on your body can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles. In 2007, a study in American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that higher dietary intake of Vitamin C was associated with a decreased likelihood of a wrinkled appearance. Vitamin C is essential to collagen support and health. The healthier and more vital your collagen, the less likely you will show wrinkles.

Papaya ranked #1 out of 36 fruits for Vitamin C content. Vitamin C can also be found in broccoli, brussel sprouts and red, yellow, and green bell peppers. Throw all of that in a stir fry for a beautiful meal! Buy some fresh to throw in a salad.

My favorite way to eat papaya is to first scoop out the seeds, then take a half of a lime and squeeze over the papaya! Makes my mouth water just thinking of it.
