PAWPAW.....A CONTRACEPTIVE?

PAWPAW SEEDS AND FOOD

Pawpaw, botanically known as Carica Papaya is one of the cheap fruits that survive better in tropical areas throughout the world. It is specie of the caricacea family. Carica papaya is oval shaped and normally green, yellow, orange or greenish-yellow in colour. Pawpaw undergoes a maturity period of a year.

Pawpaw has not been one of my favorites since childhood but little did I know the wonders I was missing until now. I’m positive there are millions of friends out there who take in pawpaw just because of its delicious taste without any idea of what they stand to benefit. Hence it is worth it to share my discoveries with the world.
Primarily, pawpaw contains a rich amount of folate, dietary fiber, papain chimopapain enzymes, vitamins A, C and E and a little of iron riboflavin, thiamine and niacin. The main functions pawpaw performs in the human body include the capability to strengthen the immune system to prevent regular colds and flu. It also assists with nausea and constipation and can be used externally for treatment of skin wounds.

Carica papaya breaks down protein into amino acids to make digestion easier. This is highly advantageous for the aged because less digestive enzymes are produced as man ages.  As a remedy for smokers, the danger of emphylsema (a chronic lung disease is reduced) due to the high
vitamin A pawpaw contains.

The seeds, fruit and stems of pawpaw are all used for curative purposes but the most amazing factor I discovered is the abortifacient and contraceptive properties of pawpaw.  Green seeds contain phytochemicals that interferes with progesterone .The intake of green pawpaw seeds daily cuts a man’s sperm count to zero. Advantageously, sperm count becomes normal when the seeds are not taken and it comes along with no side effect.    (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papaya).

 Strokes, heart attacks and diabetic heart diseases can even be prevented by taking in pawpaw daily. If  I were you, I would get off my seat and go pawpaws hunting right away. As you make the eating of pawpaw a habit, don’t forget to educate friends on it as well. Eat pawpaw everyday and grow healthy always. (Read Healthy Living, written by George. D.
