10 Foods That Boost The Immune System
Immune System Boosting Food #5: Papaya
Papaya is a type of fruit that originated somewhere in the South American tropics. It has since been exported and is grown in other parts of the world where there is a tropical climate. When ripe, it has a juicy flesh while it is sometimes used before it has fully ripened.
Papaya is a very good source of vitamin C, providing obvious benefits to our immune system. In addition, it also contains an enzyme known as papain and this can help to deal with inflammation in the body. The fruit is also a good source of other vitamins and minerals that can help to keep us in good health.
