美味的木瓜可以抗癌和治疗消化不良

 

番木瓜又甜又多汁，粘粘糊糊的，被克里斯托弗·哥伦布称为“天使之果”。切开一个木瓜切片，看到数百颗闪亮的黑色种子，这些种子都需要从木瓜中所含的营养开始它们的生命。这意味着水果蕴含力量。科学家通过发现木瓜促进消化健康和肠道清洁，对抗炎症，并支持免疫系统，证明了这一常识。它保护肺部和关节健康，使身体恢复活力，提高能量水平。

木瓜是一种有效的抗癌药物，对激素相关癌症和其他癌症都有很高的疗效。新的研究表明，木瓜可以阻止乳腺癌细胞的生长，阻止转移，并使细胞周期正常化。

木瓜是唯一一种被研究发现可以阻止乳腺癌的食物

科学家研究了墨西哥常见的14种植物性食物，以确定它们阻止乳腺癌细胞生长的能力。这些包括鳄梨，黑莎草，富瓦，芒果，多刺梨仙人掌(nopal)，菠萝，葡萄，番茄和木瓜。他们还评估了-胡萝卜素、总植物酚、没食子酸含量和抗氧化能力。他们发现只有木瓜对阻止乳腺癌细胞生长有显著作用。(国际食品科学与营养杂志，五月)

番木瓜是一种抗癌的番茄红素仓库

木瓜的橙红色意味着它富含抗癌类胡萝卜素。不仅有-胡萝卜素，还有大量的番茄红素。番茄红素的构建使其对氧和自由基具有高度的活性。伊利诺伊大学的科学家们认为这种抗氧化活性有助于其作为抗癌剂的有效性。流行病学研究表明番茄红素摄入与前列腺癌风险呈反比关系。他们发现，口服番茄红素具有很高的生物利用价值，在前列腺组织中积累，并定位于前列腺上皮细胞的细胞核中。

除了抗氧化活性，其他实验也表明番茄红素能诱导癌细胞死亡、抗转移活性和保护酶的上调。I期和II期研究已经确定了番茄红素补充的安全性。(癌症信笺，2008年10月8日)

前列腺癌是澳大利亚一项研究的主题，该研究调查了130名前列腺癌患者和274名住院对照者。科学家发现，食用富含番茄红素的水果和蔬菜(如番木瓜)的男性患前列腺癌的几率要低82%。在这项研究中，绿茶也发挥了强大的抗癌作用。当富含番茄红素的食物与绿茶一起饮用时，这种组合会更加有效，研究人员将这种结果归功于它们的协同作用。(亚太临床营养学杂志，2007)

番木瓜中发现的异硫氰酸酯可以恢复细胞周期以消除癌症

在番木瓜中发现了被称为异硫氰酸酯的有机硫化合物。在动物实验中，异硫氰酸盐可以预防乳腺癌、肺癌、结肠癌、胰腺癌、前列腺癌以及白血病等癌症，而且它们具有预防人类癌症的潜力。异硫氰酸盐通过多种途径和机制能够抑制癌细胞的形成和发展。(国际肿瘤学杂志，2008年10月)

日本研究人员澄清了一种名为BITC的番木瓜中发现的异硫氰酸酯的作用机制，它是细胞周期调节和适当细胞死亡之间关系的基础。当癌细胞按计划死亡时，它们不再是问题。研究人员证实，BITC对癌细胞的杀灭作用在增殖细胞中比静止细胞中更强。正在增殖的癌细胞比处于休眠状态的癌细胞危险得多。(营养论坛,2009)

木瓜酶可以消化蛋白质，包括保护肿瘤的蛋白质

木瓜树的果实和其他部分，也被称为猴爪树，含有木瓜蛋白酶和木瓜乳汁蛋白酶（chymopapain），这是一种强大的蛋白水解酶，能促进体内化学反应。它们通过帮助将食物中的蛋白质分解成氨基酸来促进消化，这些氨基酸可以重组产生人类可用的蛋白质。蛋白水解酶保护身体免受炎症和帮助愈合烧伤。它们能很好地消化皮肤和皮下多余的疤痕组织。

研究表明，人们的身体和心理健康高度依赖于他们产生有效利用蛋白质的能力。然而，随着人们年龄的增长，他们产生的有效消化食物中蛋白质和游离氨基酸所需的酶就会减少。它们会留下过多的未消化的蛋白质，这会导致肠道中多余的细菌过度生长，并且缺乏可用的氨基酸。

饭后吃木瓜有助于消化，有助于防止胀气、产气和消化不良。抗生素的使用对肠道有益菌的补充是很有帮助的，肠道有益菌是对抗有害菌的战争中的牺牲品。当肠道中充满了有益的细菌，免疫系统就会增强，从而更好地抵御流感和癌症。

木瓜蛋白酶是一种蛋白水解酶，能杀灭肠道寄生虫，而肠道寄生虫主要由蛋白质组成。为了清除体内的肠道寄生虫，每小时半杯木瓜汁可以与等量的黄瓜或绿豆汁连续12小时交替饮用。

木瓜含有纤维蛋白，纤维蛋白是另一种有用的化合物，在植物王国中很难找到。纤维蛋白降低了血栓的风险，提高了血细胞的质量，优化了血液通过循环系统的能力。纤维蛋白对预防中风也很重要。含有纤维蛋白的蛋白水解酶对于长时间乘坐飞机来说是一个好主意，它可以将腿部血栓的可能性降到最低。整天坐在办公桌前的人可能也想使用蛋白质水解酶。

蛋白水解酶能够消化和破坏病毒、肿瘤、过敏原、酵母和各种形式的真菌的防御屏障。一旦保护层被破坏，肿瘤和入侵的有机体就会变得非常脆弱，很容易被免疫系统照顾。

未消化的蛋白质可以穿透肠道，进入血液，在那里它们被免疫系统视为入侵者。如果太多未经消化的蛋白质漂浮在周围，免疫系统就会负担过重，无法完成原本要完成的其他任务。蛋白水解酶可以消化这些流氓蛋白，释放免疫系统。

木瓜提供甘美的口感和超强的营养

木瓜原产于中美洲。他们是由西班牙和葡萄牙的探险者传播的，他们前往印度、菲律宾和非洲。如今，市面上最畅销的木瓜都产自美国墨西哥和波多黎各。

木瓜为夏季的饮料增加了热带的阳光，同时也为身体提供了高级抗氧化剂，如胡萝卜素、维生素C和类黄酮。它富含多种维生素B，包括叶酸和泛酸。它含有大量的钾和镁，而镁是美国人最缺乏的矿物质。它也是很好的纤维来源。

Papaya is Tasty Way to Fight Cancer and Poor Digestion

(NewsTarget) Sweet and succulent with a satiny consistency, papaya was referred to as the "fruit of the angels" by Christopher Columbus. Slice open a papaya and see hundreds of shiny black seeds that all need to get their start in life from the nutrition found in the fruit. This implies that fruit must be power-packed. Scientists have documented this common sense observation by finding that papaya promotes digestive health and intestinal cleansing, fights inflammation, and supports the immune system. It protects lung and joint health, revitalizes the body, and boosts energy levels. Papaya is a potent cancer fighter that is highly effective against hormone related cancers as well as other cancers. New research shows papaya can stop the growth of breast cancer cells, halt metastasis, and normalize the cell cycle.

Papaya was the only studied food found to halt breast cancer

Scientists studied 14 plant foods commonly consumed in Mexico to determine their ability to halt breast cancer cell growth. These included avocado, black sapote, fuava, mango, prickly pear cactus (nopal), pineapple, grapes, tomato, and papaya. They also evaluated beta-carotene, total plant phenolics, and gallic acid contents and antioxidant capacity. They found that only papaya had a significant effect on stopping breast cancer cell growth. (International Journal of Food Science and Nutrition, May)

Papaya is a store-house of cancer fighting lycopene

The intense orangey-pink color of papaya means it is chock full of cancer fighting carotenoids. Not only beta carotene, but lycopene is found in abundance. The construction of lycopene makes it highly reactive toward oxygen and free radicals. Scientists at the University of Illinois think this anti-oxidant activity contributes to its effectiveness as a cancer fighting agent. Epidemiological studies have indicated an inverse relationship between lycopene intake and prostate cancer risk. They showed that oral lycopene is highly bioavailable, accumulates in prostate tissue, and is localized in the nucleus of prostate epithelial cells.

In addition to antioxidant activity, other experiments have indicated that lycopene induces cancer cell death, anti-metastatic activity, and the up-regulation of protective enzymes. Phase I and II studies have established the safety of lycopene supplementation. (Cancer Letter, October 8, 2008)

Prostate cancer was the subject of a study in Australia that looked at 130 prostate cancer patients and 274 hospitalized controls. The scientists found that men who consumed the most lycopene-rich fruits and vegetables such as papaya were 82% less likely to have prostate cancer. In this study, green tea also exerted a powerful anti-cancer effect. When lycopene-rich foods were consumed with green tea, the combination was even more effective, an outcome the researchers credited to their synergy. (Asia Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2007)

Isothiocyanates found in papaya restore the cell cycle to eliminate cancer

Organo-sulfur compounds called isothiocyanates are found in papaya. In animal experiments, isothiocyanates protected against cancers of the breast, lung, colon pancreas, and prostate, as well as leukemia, and they have the potential to prevent cancer in humans. Isothiocyanates have shown themselves capable of inhibiting both the formation and development of cancer cells through multiple pathways and mechanisms. (International Journal of Oncology), October, 2008)

Researchers in Japan clarified the mechanisms of action in a type of isothiocyanate found in papaya known as BITC, that underlies the relationship between cell cycle regulation and appropriate cell death. When cancerous cells die on schedule, they are no longer a problem. The researchers established that BITC exerted cancer cell killing effects that were greater in the proliferating cells than in the quiescent cells. Cancer cells that are proliferating are much more dangerous than cancer cells that are in a state of dormancy. (Forum of Nutrition, 2009)

Enzymes from papaya digest proteins including those that protect tumors

The fruit and other parts of the papaya tree, also known as the paw paw tree, contain papain and chymopapain, powerful proteolytic enzymes that facilitate chemical reactions in the body. They promote digestion by helping to break down proteins from food into amino acids that can be recombined to produce protein useable by humans. Proteolytic enzymes protect the body from inflammation and help heal burns. They do a good job of digesting unwanted scar tissue both on the skin and under its surface.

Research has shown that the physical and mental health of people is highly dependent on their ability to produce proteins they can use effectively. However, as people age, they produce less of the enzymes needed to effectively digest proteins from food and free needed amino acids. They are left with excessive amounts of undigested protein which can lead to overgrowth of unwanted bacteria in the intestinal tract, and a lack of available amino acids.

Eating papaya after a meal promotes digestion, and helps prevent bloating, gas production, and indigestion. It is quite helpful after antibiotic use to replenish friendly intestinal bacteria that were the casualties in the war against the unwanted bacteria. When the intestinal tract is well populated with friendly bacteria, the immune system is strengthened, and can better protect against flu and cancer.

Being a proteolytic enzyme, papain is able to destroy intestinal parasites, which are composed mostly of protein. To rid the body of intestinal parasites, half a cup of papaya juice can be alternated each hour for twelve consecutive hours with the same amount of cucumber or green bean juice.

Papaya contains fibrin, another useful compound not readily found in the plant kingdom. Fibrin reduces the risk of blood clots and improves the quality of blood cells, optimizing the ability of blood to flow through the circulatory system. Fibrin is also important in preventing stokes. Proteolytic enzymes containing fibrin are a good idea for long plane rides to minimize the potential of blood clots in the legs. People who sit at a desk all day might want to use proteolytic enzymes too.

Proteolytic enzymes are able to digest and destroy the defense shields of viruses, tumors, allergens, yeasts, and various forms of fungus. Once the shield is destroyed, tumors and invading organisms are extremely vulnerable and easily taken care of by the immune system.

Undigested proteins can penetrate the gut and wind up in the bloodstream where they are treated by the immune system as invaders. If too many undigested proteins are floating around, the immune system becomes overburdened and unable to attend to the other tasks it was meant to do. Proteolytic enzymes can digest these rogue proteins, freeing up the immune system.

Papaya offers luscious taste and super nutrition

Papayas are native to Central America. They were disbursed by Spanish and Portuguese explorers who journeyed to India, the Philippines and Africa. Today, most commercially available papaya is produced in the U.S., Mexico and Puerto Rico.

Papaya adds the sunlight of the tropics to summer drinks while flooding the body with high class antioxidants such as carotenes, vitamin C and flavonoids. It is rich in several B vitamins including folate and pantothenic acid. It contains ample amounts of potassium, and plenty of magnesium, the mineral most deficient in Americans. It is also a good source of fiber.
