How to consume Papaya without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Limit the amount of papaya you consume in one sitting to reduce the impact on your blood glucose levels.
Pair with Protein
Consume papaya with a source of protein, such as Greek yogurt or a handful of nuts, to help moderate the spike.
Include Healthy Fats
Add a small amount of healthy fats, like avocado or a few slices of cheese, alongside your papaya to slow digestion and absorption.
Incorporate Fiber
Eat papaya with fiber-rich foods, such as chia seeds, flaxseeds, or a small bowl of oatmeal, to help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Timing of Consumption
Have papaya as part of a balanced meal rather than on its own, as mixing it with other nutrients can help mitigate glucose spikes.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water before and after consuming papaya to support overall digestion and metabolism.
Physical Activity
Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after eating papaya to help your body utilize the glucose more efficiently.
Mindful Eating
Eat slowly and mindfully, chewing thoroughly to aid in better digestion and absorption of the fruit.
Monitor Blood Sugar
Keep track of your blood glucose levels to understand how papaya affects you over time and adjust your intake accordingly.
Choose Unripe Papaya
Opt for less ripe papaya, as it generally has a lower sugar content compared to ripe papaya, potentially causing a smaller spike.
