Papaya

Last Saturday, Papa was suppose to feed baby r her papaya but he was on the phone. biz talk and couldnt feed little one. so mil gave her the scraped papaya. the papaya wasnt that ripe and wasnt that soft and sweet so i scrape the soft part into a bowl for baby r. baby r loved it anyway as she wanted more when she was done! Just gave her some scraped off from half a wedge and she cried as we were done scrape every corner of it! she wanted more and was upset when we told her thats all! didnt want to overfeed her with fruits!


Papaya is also known as paw paw and its rich in caroteniods and antioxidants! It is also an excellent source of vitamin C, supporting the immunce system and prevent the build-up of plaque in on blood vessel walls, preotecting against heart disease. Papaya is rish in fibre which lowers cholesterol levels and helps prevent colon cancer by binding with cancer-causing toxins. It contains a protein-digesting enzyme called papain, which aids digestion and reduces inflammation.
