Can eating papaya really enhance breast? Papaya breast enhancement is a rumor
4hw.com.cn: now when you mention papaya, you first think of breast enhancement. Papaya breast enhancement seems to have become a common sense engraved in our consciousness. Once you mention papaya, you must mention its breast enhancement effect, etc. so can eating papaya really improve breast enhancement? What are the effects of papaya? Let's have a look!
Records of ancient books?
The most famous' relationship 'between papaya and breast in ancient books is that Anlushan threw papaya at Yang Guifei's breast, but it is well known that Yang Yuhuan's plump body has nothing to do with this fragrant anecdote. I'm afraid the origin of the saying that papaya can enhance the breast is still due to the plump and seedy shape of papaya, which gives people the imagination space to 'fill the shape with shape'. You know, there were many and many statements based on similar reasons in ancient times, such as sea cucumber for male yang deficiency, abalone for female Yin deficiency, etc.
Many people think that the saying "papaya breast enhancement" comes from traditional Chinese medicine. For this problem, the first thing to clarify is that the papaya in traditional Chinese medicine refers to 'xuanpapaya' (Chaenomeles, papaya of Rosaceae), while the variety we see on the fruit stand now is papaya (Carica papaya, papaya of papaya family). For xuanpapaya, the efficacy of breast enhancement is not mentioned in both traditional medical literature and modern Pharmacopoeia. In the discussion on breast enhancement, we mentioned more papaya.
Magical ingredients?
Among the rumors that papaya can enhance breast, some rumors explain its' principle ': papaya enzyme and vitamin A can stimulate female hormone secretion and help breast enhancement. Papaya enzyme can also decompose protein and promote the body's absorption of protein.
Papain: decomposes protein, not breast enhancement
In fact, the word 'enzyme' comes from Japanese and translates into Chinese as' enzyme '. Papain and papain are the same thing. Papain in a broad sense refers to the compound enzyme composed of papain, chymopapain, amylase and so on.
The so-called 'protease', its function is to decompose proteins. It can break large protein molecules into small fragments. The main component of the famous tender meat powder (related reading: scientific squirrel Society: 'tender meat agent' and papain, 'ancient' and 'natural' problems) is papain. It can decompose the protein in meat, reduce the mechanical strength of meat, and make the meat soft and tender. Not only is tender meat powder used in the food industry, but foreign folk also have cooking methods of dropping papaya juice on beef to make beef more delicious.
However, proteases must be in direct contact with proteins to function. We eat papaya in our mouth, and papain slides down the esophagus to the stomach, where it is decomposed by pepsin (papain itself is also a protein). There will be no complete and active papain to play the role of breast enhancement. What's more, the above consideration is to eat papaya raw. If you cook Papaya Soup, papain would have lost its activity due to heat. In short, it is nonsense to use this view to prove that eating papaya can enhance breast.
Vitamin A: the human body needs, not breast enhancement.
Papaya is rich in carotenoids, which can be converted into vitamin A in the human body. The conversion rate of this process is not high. If carotene intake is excessive in a short time, the conversion rate will be greatly reduced. On a certain level, it is not easy to supplement too much vitamin A, so eating papaya is a safer way to supplement vitamin A.
But the key is that vitamin A does not stimulate estrogen secretion, so it has no effect on breast enhancement.
