Hi, Lybrate user, a limited quantity will be suitable as excess intake might cause loose motion. Take care.

Hi, papaya is a fruit rich in fibre and vitamins like vitamin a and c. It also contains an enzyme called papain which is good for digestion. However the healthy limit of it is 3 -4 slices which is 150-200 grams. Exceeding that may give you loose motions. Also any food in excess can have adverse effects on the body.
