How to consume Papayas, Watermelon without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Eating papayas or watermelon alongside a source of protein like nuts or Greek yogurt, or healthy fats like avocado, can slow down the absorption of sugars and help stabilize blood glucose levels.

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of papayas and watermelon to minimize the impact on your blood sugar. Keeping portions small can help manage spikes.

Add Fiber

Incorporate high-fiber foods such as chia seeds, flaxseeds, or whole grains like quinoa into your meal. Fiber slows digestion and can help balance blood sugar levels.

Choose Timing Wisely

Consume these fruits as part of a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach to reduce the likelihood of a glucose spike.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Proper hydration can help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Stay Active

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after eating papayas or watermelon to help your body utilize glucose more effectively.

Monitor Your Response

Keep track of your blood sugar levels after eating these fruits to understand how your body responds and adjust your intake accordingly.

Consider Substitutes

Occasionally substitute papayas and watermelon with lower-sugar fruits like berries or apples, which have a gentler effect on blood sugar.
