Papaya for Baby

Papayas have a richly coloured orange or pinkish flesh – and that wonderful colour tells you straight away that they contain lots of beta-carotene and lycopene, both useful chemicals with anti-oxidant properties. They’re also brimming with vitamin C, B vitamins and minerals… all powerful nutrients that help protect the body against serious conditions like heart disease and cancer.

In addition, papayas are revered worldwide for their anti-inflammatory properties (meaning they may be useful in reducing the symptoms of conditions like asthma) and they also help strengthen the immune system, making them a wonderfully natural way to protect your baby against colds and other infections.
