Today’s Breakfast: Papaya boat WITH the seeds.
Most people throw these away (granted they are so peppery) but they’re actually a goldmine. They contain BITC and papain two powerhouses that act like a “reset button” for clearing out parasites and breaking down stubborn proteins.
The Routine:
• Scoop the seeds + a big spoonful of honey (it’s a must for the flavor).
• Chew them thoroughly you have to break them down to actually release the anti-parasitic benefits.
• Top with my favorite dairy free yogurt @cocojune_organic and granola with pumpkin seeds for that extra zinc boost.
I’m officially in my healing era. After getting really sick a few months ago, I’ve had to put my favorite hobby (sushi dates) on pause and focus on a gut reset.
While digging into this, I learned that in Indian traditions, women actually used papaya seeds as a natural form of birth control. Modern science shows they can lower progesterone in women and even temporarily stop sperm production in men. It’s a powerful reminder to stay mindful of how these “natural” cleanses can affect your hormones especially if you’re currently trying to conceive.
I also found a study on children in Nigeria where a single dose of air-dried seeds with honey cleared their gut parasites with a 71% to 100% success rate in just 7 days.
