A PAPAYA A DAY
A neighbour of ours spends a lot of time abroad. I was chatting to her recently and we got onto the subject of fruit. One fruit that she tries to eat regularly is the papaya. They are available here but in my experience we have to travel to the large multinational supermarkets in Derry for a supply. My neighbour reckons that the fruit works wonders on the body and has been known to prevent cancer and even to repair the damaged cells. Papaya has a soft, delicate flavour and when eaten regularly will ensure a good supply of vitamin A, C and beta-carotene. Experts have claimed rejuvenating properties for papaya, especially for the control of premature ageing. The fruit is used in meat tenderising products and the same chemicals also aid the digestion in our bodies. Poor digestion leaves the body without the correct nutrients. Those who find it almost impossible to digest anything frequently find that papaya used regularly, marks the turning point in the climb back to vitality and good health. The unripe fruit is a rich source of papain, which is vegetable pepsin and is capable of digesting protein in acid, alkaline or neutral medium. Papain also exhibits pain-relieving properties. The fruit is also said to help external wounds heal better. Papaya contains arginine, which is known to be essential for male fertility and also carpain, in the seeds (which taste like nasturtiums as a matter of interest), this is an enzyme thought to be good for the heart. Fibrin also occurs and this substance is not commonly found in the plant kingdom; in people it forms part of the blood clotting process. After treatment with antibiotics the use of papaya juice will quickly assist the restoration of the normal bacteria in the gut which will have been destroyed by the treatment. Although the papaya is a wonderful fruit, it is not recommended for women who are pregnant. You can pick up the fruit for about one pound sterling each, which seems expensive but you could make one last a day or two by leaving it in the fridge after cutting a bit off for a snack. Failing the fresh supply you could get the tablet form from a health shop.
