How to consume Papaya without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Consume papaya with a source of protein, such as Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or a handful of nuts, to help slow down the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream.
Add Healthy Fats
Include healthy fats like avocado or a few slices of almonds to your papaya snack. This can help stabilize blood sugar levels by slowing digestion.
Portion Control
Limit the amount of papaya you eat in one sitting. Consider having a smaller portion and balancing it with other low-sugar fruits like berries.
Combine with Fiber
Add high-fiber foods like chia seeds or ground flaxseeds to your papaya dish. Fiber helps to slow down the digestion process, reducing the impact on blood sugar levels.
Include Whole Grains
If you’re eating papaya as part of a meal, include whole grains like quinoa or barley. These grains can help in moderating blood sugar spikes.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water before and after eating papaya. Proper hydration helps in the efficient metabolism of sugars.
Active After Eating
Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, soon after eating papaya. Physical activity can help lower blood sugar levels by increasing insulin sensitivity.
Mindful Eating
Eat papaya slowly and savor it, which can help in better digestion and absorption, preventing rapid glucose spikes.
Monitor Timing
Try to eat papaya earlier in the day when your body might be more insulin sensitive rather than late at night.
Regular Monitoring
Regularly check your blood glucose levels to see how your body reacts to papaya, and adjust your intake accordingly.
