Benefits of eating raw papaya: Raw papaya is considered very beneficial for health in winter. If you include it in your diet, it strengthens the body’s immunity. According to Smita Srivastava, Medical Officer-in-charge of Government AYUSH Hospital, Shivgarh Rae Bareli, the digestive system slows down in the cold season, in such a situation, the enzymes papain and chymopapain present in raw papaya provide relief from gas, constipation and indigestion. Vitamin C and antioxidants present in it protect against cold, cough and infection by increasing immunity. It is low in calories and high in fiber, hence it is also useful for those controlling weight. Raw papaya also strengthens heart health by reducing bad cholesterol and gives glow to the skin by protecting it from dryness in winter.
