How To Get A Youthful Skin Using Papaya(Pawpaw)

People always want to know what’s the best skin preparation to help regain a more youthful look. I released
 that one of the best anti-aging, skin rejuvenation, products is really not one of those expensive products after all. Rather, it’s a product of Nature that you can buy relatively cheaply in the  market  or  your local grocery stores  –PAWPAW or PAPAYA
 Papaya is native to Central and northern South America  and has become naturalized throughout the Caribbean Islands, Florida and several countries of Africa. Additional crops are grown in India, Australia, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, and the U.S. state of Hawaii.

Gaining in popularity among tropical fruits worldwide, papaya is now ranked fourth in total tropical fruit production after bananas, oranges, and mango.

Reap The Anti-Aging Skin Benefits of Papaya

 I’ve always believed that your skin – being one of the largest organs of your body – will reflect the health of your inner body on your outer skin.  Without adequate antioxidants in your diet, your skin will start to show the free radical ‘oxidation’ damage going on internally.

eating of Pawpaw  or Papaya  gets rid of dull, grayish complexions dotted with many age spots, sagging, lines and furrows, looking older than their years, kindly eat  more fruits and vegetables, get the processed “junk foods” out of their diet, these junk food tastes great in your mouth but sometimes all we are doing is digging our own grave with our folk and knives .

Papaya can work wonders on tired, “old” looking skin. It’s high in Vitamin A, Vitamin C and also contains Vitamin E, so it has a significant antioxidant value.  Applying papaya to your skin has an amazing tightening, as well as brightening, effect. It’s abundant in natural alpha-hydroxy acids (AHA) which is an ingredient in those expensive anti-aging skin formulas.  It acts as a gentle exfoliator as well as a skin brightener.  Whenever you exfoliate the dark, dead skin cells, the skin will appear lighter, brighter, clearer and more youthful looking.   

Here are some ways to use papaya to reap its full skin benefit:

    To brighten:  Scoop out the papaya fruit to eat but save the peel. No more than 3 times a week, rub the peel across your freshly washed skin (face or hands, wherever the dark age spots are) and leave for 5 minutes then rinse completely off with cold water.  AHA is concentrated in the papaya peel so you might start to get dryness and irritation if you do this too frequently or leave it on too long.  You might experiment with up to 7 minutes to reap more effect as long as drying or redness don’t occur. Use a good moisturizer afterwards . You can also use natural sunscreen products that contain titanium dioxide and zinc oxide to protect you from UVA and UVB rays.  I like a few drops of pure coconut or palm oil.  Olive oil works good too but can tend to leave a greenish tint to the skin if you use the very dark, extra virgin oils.

    To tighten/tone:  Mash, or puree in a blender, the papaya fruit with several drops of whole milk, half/half, or whipping cream, and apply to your face, neck, décolleté. The fat in the milk/cream slows down the AHA so as not to dry the skin out.   Leave for 15 minutes and wash off with cold water.  Apply moisturizer.  You should notice a tighter, more toned look to face and neck skin.

    To hydrate/moisturize:  Mash/puree papaya fruit with honey or refrigerated (hardened) coconut oil and apply to your face.  Leave for 15 minutes then rinse with cold water.  This has both a moisturizing and tightening effect and can be used on drier, or more sensitive, skins.  Use a light UV containing moisturizer afterwards.

NOTE: Now, if you’ve never eaten papaya fruit, before, be sure you don’t have an allergy to it before eating it or using it on your skin.  If you have other tropical fruit allergies, or any food allergies, there may be a chance that you could react to papaya as well.
Take a very small amount of papaya and rub it on the inside skin of your wrist.  If your skin reddens, itches, or swells, you may be allergic to it. Tell your doctor about your reaction and ask if you can safely eat, or use, papaya on your skin before doing so.

 Nature provides some incredible nutrients, like papaya, that not only help you stay healthy on the inside, but keep your skin looking youthful well into your older years.

THE 7 MOST DANGEROUS ACTS AFTER A MEAL

We all have our habits that we intend to perform after we’ve had a meal. Put it turns out, some of them might be dangerous to your health.

These are the 7 most dangerous:

1.Don’t smoke A research done from experts proves that smoking a cigarette after meal is comparable to smoking 10 cigarettes (chances of cancer is higher).

Don’t eat fruits immediately When you eat your fruits with meals, the fruit is stuck in the stomach along with the contents of the meals and cannot reach the intestines in time. Lying there they get spoilt and spoil the remaining food in the stomach too. Thus it is recommended that you eat a fruit at least one hour after eating a meal or before your meal and preferably in the morning with empty stomach. It is in the morning that the body can best use the nutrients in the fruit and get enough energy to start the day.

Don’t drink tea – The reason for this is the high acidity of the tea leafs. It will cause the Protein content in the food we consume to be hardened thus difficult to digest. It is preferable to drink tea an hour after meals.

Don’t loosen your belt Some people have a habit to loosen their belt after a good meal. However, loosening the belt is bad, not because it causes the intestines to twist or block but because it means that you have over eaten to a level that you are uncomfortable. Loosening of the belt may also cause you to feel comfortable once again which means you may continue overeating. So eat only to the extent that you can be comfortable without loosening your belt!

Don’t bathe – Bathing after meal will cause the increase of blood flow to the hands, legs & body thus the amount of blood around the stomach will therefore decrease. This will weaken the digestive system in our stomach.

Don’t walk or have any exercise Fact, it is bad for you! Walking directly after meals is a bad idea; it can result to acid reflux and indigestion. However, walking about half an hour after meals is known to be good for you. You should ideally walk for about 10 minutes and only 20-30 minutes after meal to prevent acid reflux and stomach upsets.

Don’t sleep immediately – And as you may already know, the reason for this is that the food will not be able to digest properly. Thus will lead to gastric & infection in our intestine.
