Being alive in the 21st century means constantly being exposed to a wide range of contaminants. From gases, fumes, pollutants, and even additives in foods and beverages, we really can't escape these "extras" getting into our bodies and entering our bloodstream. But we can control how they affect our bodies and how long they remain within our systems. Thankfully, we live in times where people are taking charge of their health and wellness by being proactive in terms of supplementary dieting, exercising, and regular detox. It's no wonder the internet is flooded with search histories filled with inquiries on the best detox methods or best foods and supplements for detox and even safe detox practices...the list goes on. It is essential to note however that while detoxifying is very important, doing it right should also be at the fore of our minds. Going about detoxification the wrong way can affect our excretory organs and systems the wrong way as well as limit the quality of life. This is why using nature's superfoods at our disposal is the best and safest way to detoxify. You might ask what superfoods are best for embarking on a detox journey.

Well, let's talk papaya seeds!

Papaya is a low-calorie sweet-tasting fruit that’s full of vitamins and minerals. And the best part is you can enjoy every part of the fruit, from its flesh to its seeds. However, many people often discard its seeds and favor the fruit’s sweet flesh. Papaya seeds are black and have a shiny, wet, and slimy covering. If you remove this covering, you can feel the rough black seeds. They are slightly bitter and peppery in taste.

Just like the fruit itself, Papaya seeds are edible and can be eaten as part of a diet or used as an ingredient in preparing meals. Papaya seeds contain a variety of essential micronutrients. They’re especially high in polyphenols and flavonoids, two compounds that act as antioxidants to help promote your health by fighting free radicals to prevent oxidative stress.¹ What’s more, papaya seeds pack a good amount of healthy monounsaturated fatty acids, including oleic acid

According to one study, a diet high in monounsaturated fatty acids could decrease cholesterol levels.

Papaya seeds also serve as a great source of fiber. Increased intake of fiber can support healthy blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels.

Removing toxins involves cleansing and supporting the liver, kidneys, and gallbladder. These organs are our main excretory organs and help the body remove toxic substances; which is anything that the body can’t make use of. Research shows that eating papaya seeds could protect and preserve the health and function of your kidneys.
