How to consume Papayas, Watermelon without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the portion size of papayas and watermelon to keep your blood sugar levels stable. Smaller servings can help manage the impact on your glucose levels.

Pair with Protein

Combine these fruits with a source of protein like Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or a handful of nuts to slow down the absorption of sugars.

Add Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats such as avocado slices, chia seeds, or a small amount of nut butter with your fruit to help moderate the glucose spike.

Choose Whole Fruits Over Juices

Eating whole papayas and watermelon rather than drinking their juices can reduce the speed of sugar absorption due to the presence of fiber.

Incorporate Fiber-Rich Foods

Add fiber-rich foods like oats, barley, or lentils to your meals to slow down digestion and glucose absorption.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Engage in Physical Activity

A short walk or light exercise after eating can help manage blood sugar levels by increasing insulin sensitivity.

Monitor Timing of Consumption

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

Opt for Mixed Meals

Integrate papayas and watermelon into meals that include vegetables and whole grains, such as a salad or grain bowl, to further slow down sugar absorption.

Practice Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully to give your body time to process the sugars, which can also aid in better digestion and glucose management.
