The Fruit That Fights Wrinkles

You really can fight wrinkles from the inside out. And there's a fruit that can lead the charge.

It's papaya. What makes papaya so perfect? Easy. Vitamin C. Papaya has loads of it, and getting lots of vitamin C may mean more youthful skin -- fewer wrinkles and less thinning and dryness. A recent study in women over 40 confirmed it.

If you have it, share it. If you don't have it, be humble, keep quiet and learn from those who have traveled ahead of you. Just be who you are and you'll find life isn't all that stressful. Argument is a sure way to earn wrinkles to your face. Be gracious and lend an ear. Listen even if the person is saying something you already know. People need to share because it makes them feel good. Good feelings = good looking.

What about the enzyme papaina from the papaya? I have read about it and seems that it is used to soften the meat!!!

I wrote to you earlier about the benefits of indigenous honey used to treat respiratory difficulties and never received a response. I have a question about walnuts and pecans. Will you please reply?
