AVOID THE BACK TO SCHOOL SICKNESS!!!!
Kids are going back to school and that means a great opportunity to spread sickness. I am serious though… I see it every year in my business… clients getting sick because of what their kiddos brought home from school.
SKIP THIS BACK TO SCHOOL TRADITION!
First Day of School Circa 1991
Papayas have one of the highest concentrations of Vitamin C which will boost your immune system and help you to stay healthy!
Added benefits of eating papaya include:
- Rich sources of antioxidant nutrients such as carotenes, vitamin C and flavonoids
- B vitamins, folate and pantothenic acid
- Vitamin E and vitamin A
- The minerals, potassium and magnesium
- Fiber
- Folic acid
- Promotes the health of the cardiovascular system
- Provides protection against colon cancer
- Contains the digestive enzyme, papain, which is used like bromelain, a similar enzyme found in pineapple, to treat sports injuries, other causes of trauma, and allergies
- Helpful for the prevention of atherosclerosis and diabetic heart disease
- Help prevent the oxidation of cholesterol (because it is when cholesterol becomes oxidized that it is able to stick to and build up in blood vessel walls… eventually, forming dangerous plaques can cause heart attacks or strokes.)
Papayas are also amazing for your skin… they will help you to keep that young, glowing, healthy look about you.
Papayas are not the full picture though… a few other things to consider are:
#1 Getting enough sleep
#2 Keeping stress levels in check
#3 Changing your expectations… if you tell yourself that you ALWAYS get sick at this time of year, your chances of getting sick increase significantly… it is a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Eat your papaya. Get your rest. Work out that stress. Change your mental tape to appreciate all of the healthy days in your life. This is going to be a great year ya’ll!!!
