Did you know this tropical fruit does more than just taste good?
Papaya contains a powerful natural enzyme called papain, which helps your body break down proteins more efficiently. If you're struggling with bloating, sluggish digestion, or that heavy feeling after meals, adding papaya to your diet could make a real difference.
Papain supports your digestive system by:
✔ Breaking down protein into absorbable amino acids
✔ Reducing bloating and gas
✔ Supporting nutrient absorption
✔ Soothing inflammation in the gut lining
It’s especially helpful for people with low stomach acid or compromised enzyme production — something I often see in clinic when reviewing gut health testing.
In consultations, I’ll often recommend enzyme-rich foods like papaya alongside targeted strategies, so you’re not just managing symptoms — you’re addressing the root cause.
