There are 36 trillion living cells present in an adult human. Food items are necessary for our survival, and all of them keep us fit and healthy for our day-to-day tasks. Our body consists of various important organs, both internal and external, like skin, eyes, hair, teeth, stomach, etc. One thing that is very interesting is that we need different components of food for our overall development. The components are different types of vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, fats, etc.
All the mentioned ingredients are not present in a single food item as different food items are known for different basic components, like carrot, which is well known for vitamin A as it is good for eye health; collard greens, which are rich in fiber and are good for bowel movement; fish, which is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and is good for heart health; pulses, which are rich in proteins and are good for our overall health; water, which keeps us hydrated and keeps our bowel movement in a very good position.
Papaya, for instance, is a fruit refered to as the ‘fruit of angels’ as it has immense and great health benefits when eaten on an empty stomach. It is good for skin health, as it is packed with antioxidants like vitamin A and vitamin C. Papaya encourages the synthesis of collagen, making the skin radiant, and minimizes wrinkles.
