Papaya: Haven’t you heard the ‘try papaya scrub’ for anything skin related? And with a reason. Papaya is exceptionally great for skin care. It aids in good and easy digestion and also protects the body against infections.

The presence of papain, an enzyme in papaya helps with the breakdown of proteins. Proteins are hard to digest by the body, and animal proteins can also be too toxic for the belly. Especially if you are on any kind of high protein diets, adding in a papaya smoothie to your diet every other day will ensure you digest your protein well.
