Why Does Food Leave You Puffed Up? 

Bloating often stems from poor digestion. Sluggish enzymes and fiber gaps make food ferment in your gut, causing gas and discomfort. Papaya’s secret weapons fix this!

Papaya’s Power Enzyme

Papain—papaya’s superstar enzyme—breaks down proteins fast. Think of it as a “digestive Pac-Man” that chews up meat, beans, and dairy, easing tummy strain.

Fiber That Works With You, Not Against You 

One cup of papaya gives you 2.5g of gentle fiber. It softens stool, feeds good gut bacteria, and stops constipation—without the gas overload!

Cool the Fire in Your Belly 

Papaya’s antioxidants (like lycopene and vitamin C) reduce gut inflammation. Less swelling = less post-meal puffiness!
