As the next season of weddings draws nearer, all the would-be brides are gearing-up to look and feel their best on one of the most special days of their lives.

Well, it might sound incredible but there’s one fruit, pawpaw, that can do wonders for all your beauty and health needs, says Mehar Rajput, a dietitian and nutritionist from Fitpass.

Cuts the fat to give you that dream figure: Make it a habit to eat two bowls of pawpaw every day for a month before your big day. The fruit has a super enzyme, papain, that helps speed-up digestion, increasing metabolism and creating healthy waterworks, all of which aid in an efficient weight-loss strategy. By eating a 55 calorie portion, not only are you getting ready for your big day but you are also preparing the beach body you are hoping to have on your honeymoon.

Aids digestion: Irregular and unhealthy eating due to wedding jitters can have

you constantly complaining about acidity or an upset tummy. A bowl of pawpaw every day can keep stomach problems at bay through its papain enzyme, which can help improve digestion.

Moreover, the fibre content in pawpaw clears the stomach and aids digestive performance from the inside.

Mohit Narang, a skincare expert of beauty brand Avon, shares the benefits of pawpaw on skin.

Exfoliation: Pep up your skin with pawpaw since it has an enzymatic effect and it is good for clearing dead skin.

Detanning: Pawpaw is as refreshing for your skin as it is for the rest of your body when you eat it. It has a good anti-tanning effect and is an excellent beauty choice for detanning.

Skin polishing: Pawpaw helps give your skin a radiant glow, a smooth finish and it brings a lot of shine to your face. - IANS
