Frankly, I’m not a fruit person as I’m only contented on eating bananas most of times. I wanted to eat more fruits most especially citrus fruits but they only give my upset stomach due to it’s strong acid content so I stay away from them like pineapples, oranges or lemons. Recently, I’m diagnosed with hyperacidity and mild scar on the lining of my stomach so as much as possible, I need to remove foods with too much acid or foods that can cause acidity. I’ve given up coffee, softdrinks, tea and it’s working for me.

Since, I need to have fruits on my diet, mom suggested to me to try eating papaya, which she knows I hate. She bought a papaya one day and since I also need to keep my bowel movement on the go, I ate some and wonderfully helped me moved. Now, every week, I’ve been eating papaya for breakfast or lunch time and amazingly, I’m loving it already. It’s not that bad afterall..hehe. My bowel movement became more regular and I think it can be considered one of the natural weight loss pills that work. One more thing I noticed is that, I feel refresh every time I eat it.

Benefits of Papaya
-highest vitamin-C content 
-loaded with lots of vitamins and minerals (vit. a, vit. c, calcium, iron, potassium, folate, vit. E)
- anti-oxidant
- helps regulate bowel movements because it is high in dietary fiber
- no cholesterol
- no fats

We always hear this: “An apple a day, keeps the doctor away.”

It is already known that apples have a lot of health benefits when we eat them. Actually when I was sick last week, I always munch apples all the time and I guess it helped in my recovery.  Some benefits from eating apples are:

1. It keeps our cholesterol level low
2. It is a good anti oxidant and can detoxify our body
3. Helps in our digestion for it contains lots of fiber
