Celestial challenge:Saturday-Angriuiture
Today I'll be talking bout the benefits of pawpaw and #celestial challenge by@sirknight.
Papayas grow in tropical climates and are
also known as papaws or pawpaws. Their
sweet taste, vibrant color, and the wide
variety of health benefits they provide make
them a popular fruit.
• The Vitamins
Eating paw paw helps your body metabolize the other food you eat. A cup of raw paw paw provides about 10 percent of the vitamin B-6, thiamin, riboflavin, folate and niacin you need daily. These B-complex vitamins work together to help your body convert protein, carbohydrates and fat into energy. Paw paw contains antioxidants, giving you one-half of the vitamin C you should get each day. Vitamin C plays a role in keeping your cells healthy and your immune system strong, and it helps your body absorb some essential minerals, such as iron andcalcium.
• The Minerals
Unlike many tree fruits, paw paw is a rich
source of minerals. Each cup provides about one-seventh of the magnesium, one-eighth of the potassium and one-tenth of the phosphorus you need each day. It also contains 1.35 milligrams of iron.The Institute of Medicine recommends that women up to age 50 get 18 milligrams of iron a day, while men and older women need 8 milligrams of iron daily.
