How to consume Papayas without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the amount of papaya you consume in one sitting to avoid overloading your system with sugars.

Pair with Protein

Combine papaya with a source of protein such as Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or nuts. This can help slow down the absorption of sugar.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats like avocado, chia seeds, or a small amount of nut butter when eating papaya. Fats can help moderate the impact on your blood sugar levels.

Include Fiber-Rich Foods

Eat papaya with fiber-rich foods like oatmeal, quinoa, or leafy greens. Fiber can slow down the digestion process, reducing the potential for a spike.

Time Your Intake

Consume papaya as part of a balanced meal rather than eating it on an empty stomach to minimize blood sugar spikes.

Stay Active

Engage in light physical activity such as walking after consuming papaya to help your body use up the sugars more efficiently.

Hydrate

Drink water before and after eating papaya to aid in digestion and support better glucose management.

Monitor Portions with Mixed Meals

When eating papaya in a mixed meal, prioritize low-sugar and low-carbohydrate foods to balance the effects.

Mind the Ripeness

Choose less ripe papayas, as overly ripe fruits tend to have higher sugar content.

Track Your Response

Monitor your blood sugar levels to see how your body responds to papaya and adjust your intake accordingly.
