With about 4.5% of the recommended daily intake of fiber in a 100-gram serving, dried papaya effectively promotes smooth movement of food in the colon. The fiber content also prevents the re-absorption of LDL (bad) cholesterol.
Papaya is one of the best food sources of vitamin C, with a 100- gram serving providing 103% of the nutrient's recommended daily intake. Vitamin C is essential in strengthening the body's immunity against disease.
The fruit contains manganese, magnesium, iron, phosphorous, zinc and copper. These minerals are involved in bone health, acne prevention, red blood cell production and metabolism of fats and protein.
Unsulfured papaya is rich in antioxidants such as lutein, zeaxanthin, cryptoxanthin and vitamin A. They neutralize harmful free radicals to promote skin and eye health.

Pineapples are low in calories but have an incredibly impressive nutrient profile. They are especially rich in vitamin c and manganese, providing 131% and 76% of the daily recommendations. Vitamin C is essential for growth and development, a healthy immune system and aiding the absorption of iron from the diet. Meanwhile, manganese is a naturally occurring mineral that aids growth, maintains a healthy metabolism and has antioxidant properties.
Pineapples are sweet, convenient and easy to incorporate into your diet.
They are very affordable and available year-round in many American markets, as they can be purchased fresh, canned or frozen. Pineapples are incredibly versatile and can be consumed in a variety of ways.
Cancer is a chronic disease characterized by uncontrolled cell growth. Its progression is commonly linked to oxidative stress and chronic inflammation. Several studies have shown that pineapple contains compounds that reduce oxidative stress and inflammation, both of which are linked to cancer. One of these compounds is the enzyme bromelain, which may stimulate cell death in certain cancer cells and aid white blood cell function.
Pineapples contain a group of digestive enzymes known as bromelain. They function as proteases, which break down protein molecules into their building blocks, such as amino acids and small peptides. Once protein molecules are broken down, they are more easily absorbed across the small intestine. This can be especially helpful for people with pancreatic insufficiency, a condition in which the pancreas cannot make enough digestive enzymes.
