Health benefits of eating papaya combined with chia seeds

Cát Tiên (THEO indianexpress) |

Papaya and chia seeds are two nutritious foods and when combined, they can bring many health benefits.

Pratiksha Kadam - a nutritionist at Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, Navi Mumbai (India) - shared that chia seeds contain a lot of carunculous and gel diastase that can combine with liquid to form a gel-like structure.

The most outstanding health effects of chia seeds are known for their high antioxidant content. These antioxidants help prevent or slow down the oxidation of other chemicals. In addition, they are also known to reduce inflammatory reactions in the body, slow down the aging process and prevent cancer.

Papaya is good for the digestive system, containing a lot of fiber and water. It also contains an enzyme called papain, which is known to aid digestion by splitting different types of proteins and relieving the intestines.

Ms. Kadam suggests mixing fresh papaya with a spoonful of soaked chia seeds, a glass of water and yogurt to create a gut-healthy smoothie.

Ms. Pratiksha Kadam listed some key benefits of eating papaya combined with chia seeds, including:

Strengthen the immune system: Papaya is a rich source of vitamin C, which helps strengthen the immune system and reduce the risk of disease. Chia seeds are also rich in omega-3, which helps improve overall health and the immune system.

Aids digestion: Papaya contains papain, which helps digest protein and reduce digestive problems such as bloating and constipation. Chia seeds are high in fiber, which helps maintain a healthy digestive system, prevent constipation and improve bowel movements.

Improve cardiovascular health: Chia seeds are an excellent source of plant-based omega-3, which helps reduce bad cholesterol (LDL) and increase good cholesterol (HDL). Papaya also contains antioxidants and potassium, which help lower blood pressure and improve heart health.

Reduce inflammation: Chia seeds contain omega-3 fatty acids that have anti-inflammatory effects, while papaya provides vitamins A and C that help soothe inflammation in the body.

Weight loss: Both papaya and chia seeds help reduce cravings and support the weight loss process. Chia seeds have the ability to absorb water many times their weight, creating a feeling of fullness for a long time, while papaya is low in calories and rich in water.

Anti-aging: Papaya is rich in antioxidants such as carotenoids and vitamin C, which help protect cells from free radical damage and prevent aging. Omega-3 in chia seeds also helps maintain healthy skin, reduce wrinkles and increase elasticity.

Good for bones and joints: Chia seeds are rich in calcium and magnesium, which help maintain healthy bones, while papaya provides vitamin D and phosphorus, which are essential for bone growth and strengthening.
