How to consume Bananas, Papayas without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats
Combine bananas or papayas with foods like Greek yogurt, almonds, or a handful of walnuts to slow down the absorption of sugars.
Add Fiber-rich Foods
Incorporate foods such as chia seeds, flaxseeds, or oatmeal into your meal. These can help moderate the spike by slowing digestion.
Eat with Non-starchy Vegetables
Include a salad or vegetables like spinach, kale, or cucumbers in your meal to balance the impact on blood sugar levels.
Limit Portion Size
Enjoy smaller portions of bananas and papayas and spread your fruit intake throughout the day rather than consuming large quantities at once.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water throughout the day, as dehydration can affect blood sugar levels.
Engage in Light Exercise
Go for a short walk or engage in gentle stretching after eating to help your body use up the blood glucose more efficiently.
Choose Less Ripe Fruits
Opt for slightly less ripe bananas and papayas, as they contain less sugar compared to their fully ripened counterparts.
Monitor Your Blood Sugar
Keep track of your glucose levels before and after consuming these fruits to better understand your body's response and adjust your diet accordingly.
Incorporate Legumes
Add a side of lentils or chickpeas to your meals, as they are known to help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Opt for Whole Grains
Include a small serving of quinoa or barley in your meal plan to help maintain steady blood sugar levels.
