JAKARTA - Jus is now a practical choice to increase daily nutritional intake. Besides being easy to make and not taking long, this drink can also be a delicious way to maintain digestive health and endurance. One of the juices recommended by doctors is papaya juice.

Dr. Saurabh Sethi, a digestive specialist who has studied at AIIMS, Harvard, and Stanford University, shared videos on his personal Instagram account about the benefits of papaya for gut health as well as a simple smoothie papaya recipe that can be made at home.

According to Dr. Sethi, papaya is one of the best fruits for maintaining the health of the intestines. This fruit helps relieve the heat in the chest (heartburn), reduces the bloating stomach, and prevents constipation. He explained that papaya is rich in enzymes, fibers, and antioxidants. All of its properties play an important role in keeping the digestive system healthy and smooth.

A study published in PMC (PubMed Central) also supports this. The study shows that papaya is able to improve gut health thanks to the fiber content, enzymes, and anti-inflammatory properties in it.

Fiber in maturing papaya helps the growth of good bacteria in the intestines, produces short chain fatty acids that support digestive health. Meanwhile, papaine enzymes in papaya help digest proteins, thereby reducing digestive disorders and bloating flavors. In addition, antioxidants in papaya also help reduce inflammation in the intestines and increase overall digestive function.

The following is a prescription for papaya juice in the style of Dr. Sethi, as reported by the Times of India page.

Ingredients:

- 1 cup of cooked papaya that has been diced

- Half a cup of regular milk or milk

- Half a cup of ice cubes

- One teaspoon of honey

- A little cinnamon powder

How to make it: Mix all ingredients into blenders, smooth to soft, and fresh papaya juice is ready to be enjoyed
