Great on its own, according to Dr Salhab, papaya can also be blended into a smoothie with ice, a sweetener of choice like honey or cinnamon, and regular or coconut milk to make it creamy. 'This creates a nice gut-healthy smoothie for the morning,' Dr Salhab added.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, apart from supporting gut health, papaya also has several other benefits. It protects vision, prevents inflammation, lowers blood sugar, and protects your heart. It also helps the body fight several diseases as it is a nutrient-rich source of vitamin C.
Studies suggest that eating foods high in vitamin C may lower your risk of lung cancer and breast cancer. The vitamin may also help treat pancreatic cancer. Additionally, plant chemicals (phytonutrients) in papayas, such as lycopene, may help fight cancer, according to a study.
While it is important to know which foods and fruits support your git health, one should also keep a check on the worst foods for your gut health to avoid constipation, bloating, and diarrhoea. Here's a list suggested by gastroenterologist, Dr Saurabh Sethi.

Last Updated: Ashely Biden captioned the post with a message: 'Too grateful to be angry about all the bulls**t." Ashley Biden, daughter of former US President Joe Biden, hit back at recent reports about her father's mental and physical health, calling the claims 'DAMN disrespectful and untrue." In an Instagram post, Ashley Biden posted a photo of herself with her parents, Joe and Jill Biden, at the beach. She captioned the post with a message: 'Too grateful to be angry about all the bulls**t," adding, 'This family's only coverup is a beach coverup." Ashley Biden's comments come amid speculation about the former president's health, particularly in the wake of books such as Original Sin. Rejecting the claims, Ashley Biden wrote, 'He aged, YES! As we all do! And the stress of the presidency accelerates. But he was always MORE than capable of doing the job. And a damn good one." Ashley Biden took aim at what she called 'recent noise from fake news" accusing some in the media of pushing false narratives for profit. She wrote, 'The noise is so DAMN disrespectful and untrue… created by those committed to perpetuating and profiting from some real BS. Get lost with your fake news and anonymous sources." Ashley also thanked the public for the outpouring of support following her father's recent prostate cancer diagnosis.

‘The noise is so damn disrespectful': Joe Biden's daughter slams claims about former US president's mental health
Ashley Biden, daughter of former U.S. President Joe Biden, has strongly pushed back against recent speculation about her father's mental and physical health, calling the claims 'disrespectful' and 'untrue.' In an emotional Instagram post featuring a photo with her parents, Jill and Joe Biden, on the beach, Ashley defended the president's fitness and work ethic. 'He aged, YES — as we all do! And the stress of the presidency accelerates that,' she wrote. 'But he was always MORE than capable of doing the job. And a damn good one. He worked harder than anyone I have ever known.' She slammed what she called "fake news" and baseless attacks. 'The noise is so DAMN disrespectful and untrue... It's just that – noise/static – created by those committed to perpetuating and profiting from some real BS,' Ashley added. 'Get lost with your fake news and anonymous sources.' Ashley's comments come as her niece, Naomi Biden, also lashed out at a recently released book critical of the president. Naomi, daughter of Hunter Biden, described the book on X as 'political fairy smut for the permanent, professional chattering class,' accusing its authors of peddling 'unoriginal, uninspired lies' for profit. 'This book is a bunch of lies written by irresponsible, self-promoting journalists out to make a quick buck,' Naomi wrote. Ashley echoed the frustration, noting that while she could be angry about the attacks, she chose to remain thankful: 'I'm too grateful to be angry about all the bulls---,' she said. She also expressed appreciation for the public support her family received after President Biden's prostate cancer diagnosis became public in May. 'This family's only coverup is a beach coverup,' Ashley quipped. The Bidens' sharp defense reflects growing tensions as scrutiny around the president's age and health continues to shape political discourse heading into the 2024 election.
