Papaya is now a very common fruit, papaya's origin is actually in South America, is in the 17th to 18th century was introduced to China's fruit, papaya has been planted in the tropical areas of China, we can eat papaya at any time. We usually eat the most common papaya called "papaya", there is another kind of papaya eating poor taste commonly used as a traditional medical herbs, called "Xuan papaya". Papaya gives us the first impression is "can breast enhancement", in fact, may not be so, papaya breast enhancement is estimated and it is shaped like the shape of the full female breasts and originally it is also a lot of juice related, but in fact, both the papaya or Xuan papaya are not documented and research results to prove that they are able to breast enhancement. Many people believe that papaya is rich in protease that promotes protein breakdown and absorption, and therefore helps to enlarge the breasts, but in fact, protease is inactivated as early as after we ingest it, and it can not achieve the effect of the claim of breast enhancement.

Well back to our topic, papaya is sweet and juicy, so can diabetics and high blood sugar patients eat it?

Eat in fact of course is no problem, but the sugar content of papaya is indeed quite a lot, and the glycemic effect is not low, a one-time can not be too much intake, and the day should also control the amount. Generally speaking, to determine whether it is appropriate for sugar lovers to eat a certain food generally look at the glycemic index of the food, glycemic index represents the rate of food per unit of time to raise blood glucose index, generally speaking, higher than 55 food belongs to the high glycemic index of the food, is not suitable for sugar lovers to eat more.Papaya has a glycemic index of 59, which is actually considered a higher glycemic index fruit, so it is best for sugar lovers not to eat more of itRecommendationsOne-time intake of papaya is best controlled at about 50g, you can eat a few times a day, the whole day papaya intake of about 100~150g appropriate。

In fact, most of the fruit sugar friends can eat, just the intake of the problem. Fruit in this rich in dietary fiber, can inhibit the rate of absorption of sugar, help blood sugar stable, and fruit fructose is not a rapid rise in sugar sugar, just glucose, sucrose content of the fruit of the higher impact on blood sugar. Sugar lovers eat fruit must not be in the meal, after the meal is supposed to be the stage of blood sugar rise faster, and then intake of fruit this kind of sugar content is not low food is bound to let the blood sugar soar. You can choose your own blood sugar lower time period, such as between meals when the stomach a little hungry, or a lot of exercise can eat some fruit to avoid hypoglycemia.

Eat fruit do not juice to drink, will be a large loss of dietary fiber, can not assist in the smooth blood sugar, and a cup of juice to use several fruits to juice, sugar concentration, more likely to let the blood sugar spike; also do not choose dried fruit, fruit slices, candied fruits processed fruits, they may be added with more sucrose and other flavoring, but also on the blood sugar is not conducive to the water concentration of which, the loss of dietary fiber, shrinking the volume, and so on. This will make us eat a lot of fruit slices also feel as if we did not eat anything, but in fact the sugar we are consuming a lot, in turn, more unfavorable to blood sugar.

Thanks for the invite.

Papaya's earliest origin in South America, and then the world exchange and transportation development is rapid, the Chinese people eat papaya feel the taste of sweet, understand the nutrition of the papaya is also good, and gradually their own began to plant papaya, began to the tropical areas of considerable production, so the early papaya is mainly produced in China's south, closer to the equator area, such as Taiwan, Hainan. However, with the improvement of planting technology, now the origin of papaya in China has been a lot, such as Shandong, Shaanxi, Henan, Guangxi Guangdong, Zhejiang and other places have output, we are also more likely to eat papaya.

The first time I ate papaya when I refused, this thing belly loaded with those black seeds with inexplicable stench (but for more friends perhaps this is the fragrance), for the dense phobia of me is a great mental torture, endure the force to dig out these papaya zi, eat papaya meat feel okay, the taste of sweet, the more the belly part of the more sweet, the beginning of the still feel some fishy taste, but then ate more! A few times I think it's actually not bad. Perhaps I am a special case, there are friends who love to eat papaya that can be a lot to go.

Papaya is known as the "fruit of the hundred benefits", "longevity of the melon" papaya in the vitamins, minerals are very rich, beneficial to the human body a lot of ingredients, the taste is also good, there are fruits in the queen of the saying. Although papaya tastes quite sweet.However, papaya is richer in fructose, and fructose actually has a much smaller effect on blood sugar and is dozens of times sweeter than glucose, so although papaya is sweet, its rate of glycemic rise is actually not very high.If we use a professional term "glycemic index" to describe the rate of glycemic rise, papaya belongs to the lower-middle glycemic index fruit, sugar lovers can eat it. Papaya is also rich in water, which is helpful in easing the rise of blood sugar.Sugar lovers are still advised to eat no more than 100g of papaya at a time and no more than 200g a day, and the same goes for other fruits.

In addition, sugar lovers should not be afraid to eat fruit, fruit is rich in nutrients, dietary fiber, can provide a lot of beneficial ingredients to sugar loversFruits are rich in water and dietary fiber, which are elements that can ease the rise of blood sugar, and eating fruits appropriately has little effect on blood sugar. Sugar lovers can choose to eat more fruit between meals, when blood sugar is low, not only to prevent hypoglycemia, but also to fill the stomach. Eating fruit is best not to beat juice to drink, eat fresh fruit is best, beat juice is easy to destroy dietary fiber, loss of antioxidants, mineral composition, but will make blood sugar rise faster.

[February 11, 2019 Text: 393 Liu Xiaohui] First of all, it is necessary to clarify that we often eat papaya as a fruit, in fact, the exact name is "papaya", with a "tomato" word, it is an imported product, the place of origin is not in China, in the tropical regions of South America. China's homegrown papaya is generally used for medicinal purposes, know very few people, few people eat.

Although papaya, a fruit, is sweet, it is definitely not "off limits" for diabetics.Let's talk in numbers. Let's talk in numbers:

• Papaya's sugar content in the fruit in the lower reaches of 7%, just than watermelon, melon and other watery fruits higher than the vast majority of fruits are lower than the majority of fruits, even more acidic taste of oranges, mandarin oranges sugar content is higher than the papaya, respectively, is for 11.1%, 11.9%;
  

• Papaya also has a relatively low glycemic index of 25, the lowest of almost any fruit group, only slightly higher than cherries (22), plums (24), and quite a bit lower than those most grounded fruits such as apples (36), pears (36), and peaches (28).
  

So it seems that apples, pears and peaches can be eaten by diabetics, so why not papayas?

Or that advice: can eat but can not eat more, so that the glycemic index and the sugar content of the fruit are not high, diabetics should also be controlled within 200 grams per day, and do not eat with the main meal, but to be interspersed between the two main meals to eat, safe and healthy.

Hello, I'm Health Manager Con, and I'm happy to answer your questions.

It can be said that "one side of the soil and water to raise one side of the 'melon'," delicious papaya from Shandong, Shaanxi, Hubei, Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Guangxi and other places. Mentioned the colorful, refreshing and delicious and nutritious fruit, diabetic friends, especially female friends, really love and hate, want to eat (papaya is the beauty of the good), but also afraid of the sugar content is high dare not eat. In fact, papaya fresh fruit contains more tannins and organic acids, sugar, fat content is relatively low, especially rich in tryptophan and lysine, and these two are essential amino acids. So for diabetic friends with good calorie control, moderate consumption of papaya can also become a pleasure in life.

Papaya although nutritious and sweet and delicious both, but not everyone can "a full mouth". Papaya is cold, stomach cold, weak people should not eat more, otherwise it is easy to lead to diarrhea; papaya contains papaverine toxic to the human body, allergic people should be careful to eat; In addition, papaya contains papain has increased the role of uterine contractions, eat too much to cause uterine contractions leading to abdominal pain, is not conducive to the stability of the fetus, and in severe cases, even lead to miscarriage.

Of course, for friends with diabetes who have no contraindications, since they can eat it, they must eat it correctly in order to fully enjoy the nutrition of papaya. Some friends say, papaya is cold, so cook it and eat it. Never! Cooked papaya, B vitamins and vitamin C almost all destroyed, can not play any health effects. Papaya in the protease in the unripe green papaya in the highest content, about twice as much as the ripe red papaya, it can destroy certain bacteria and roundworms in the body, the same is also the most afraid of high temperature heating.

Sugar man health network, a temperature control of sugar platform, welcome to pay attention to the questions and answers!

There are many kinds of papaya, people often eat called papaya, it tastes sweet and delicious, rich aroma, thick flesh, and rich in essential amino acids, vitamins and trace elements, so people also called it for the fruit of longevity, which means that eating can prolong life; in addition, the papaya also has a considerable medicinal value, such as spleen and stomach to promote digestion, anti-coagulation and blood pressure, breast cancer and other roles, of course, not all people are suitable for consumption of papaya, such as pregnant women, as well as patients with bruises, rheumatism, bone pain and so on. Not all people are suitable for eating papaya, such as pregnant women, and bruises, rheumatism and bone pain patients!

For diabetic patients, papaya can also be consumed, its glycemic index is only about 30, less than 8 grams of sugar per 100 grams, belonging to the low glycemic index of the fruit, and it is extremely low glycemic load, you can consume more, blood glucose control is more satisfied with the patient can be consumed at a time of more than 2 two, will not cause significant fluctuations in blood glucose!

The glycemic index alone doesn't mean anything, and even if it's low, it can still cause your blood sugar to rise if you consume too much; so here's another concept, glycemic load, which represents the degree to which a certain mass of food affects your body's blood sugar, which means that you can use it to figure out how much of a large amount of food you should be consuming, and never have to worry about overdoing it again.

It is calculated as follows; the weight of actual available carbohydrates in the ingested food is multiplied by the glycemic index of the food and divided by one hundred. In the following, the GI will be used to represent the glycemic index and the GL will be used in place of the glycemic load.

When the GL was greater than or equal to 20, it was high GL, suggesting that the corresponding weight of food consumed had a significant effect on blood glucose; when the GL was between 10-20, it was medium GL, suggesting that the corresponding weight of food consumed had an average effect on blood glucose; and when the GL was less than or equal to 10, it was low GL, suggesting that the corresponding weight of food consumed did not have a significant effect on blood glucose.

Here we use papaya as an example; the GI of papaya is 25, and its 100 grams of sugar content is 7.2, so we want to eat 3 taels (150 grams) of papaya, then we use 7.2*150/100 = 10.8, which is the amount of sugar in 3 taels of papaya, and then we use 10.8*25/100 = 2.7, which is less than 10, which means that the 3 taels of papaya has an effect on your blood sugar is not great.

Well, good luck with your well-being!

Papaya is a plant that grows in the south, and its main places of origin in China are Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Yunnan, Taiwan and other provinces. Some people rumor that papaya can be contraceptive, and others say that papaya can enlarge breasts, these are the result of blackmail, because papaya does not contain substances similar to female hormones, these effects are not to talk about.

There are no special contraindications to say whether diabetics can eat papaya. The sugar content of papaya is not very high, but also contains a variety of vitamins and organic acids, such as malic acid, citric acid and tartaric acid, etc., the taste is acidic. Some people will add some sugar or honey, etc. for a better taste, which is not suitable for diabetics. In fact, most fruits are suitable for diabetics, and the energy contained in most fruits is not very high, which has even less effect on blood sugar when consumed between meals.

Papaya is also more suitable for patients with liver disease, Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" has recorded that papaya has: "warm flavor and acidity, calm the liver and stomach". Modern medical research has found that papaya's hepatoprotective effect is mainly reflected in:

1, rich in vitamin C, 48 times more than apples, with the removal of oxygen free radicals, stabilize the liver cell membrane, promote liver cell regeneration and promote the synthesis of hepatic glycogen, thus promoting the repair of damaged liver.

2, rich in a variety of amino acids, can partially alleviate the problem of chronic liver disease patients with malnutrition, amino acid deficiency.

3, rich in oleanolic acid, with hepatoprotective, lipid-lowering, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial liver protection effect.

4, promote digestion, papaya contains a can break down meat in the protein, help to improve liver disease patients with loss of appetite, fullness after meals, promote digestion and absorption.

5, anti-cancer effect, papaya has to stop the role of nitrosamine synthesis, there is a certain role in cancer prevention.

Papaya is native to tropical America, China, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi and Taiwan are cultivated, as a fruit, generally by seed propagation. The fruit is rich in vitamin C, more than citrus fruits, another carotene and protease, papaya enzyme, etc., "Materia Medica" said: "papaya cure dampness paralysis foot." It has the effect of resolving dampness and curing paralysis, soothing tendons and reducing swelling as well as helping digestion. Leaves have a strong heart, swelling effect. Unripe fruit contains the most papaya enzyme, so the digestive effect is greater than the mature fruit, and its latex can be used as cosmetic raw materials. Seeds can be extracted oil. Papaya contains fructose in general diabetics are not in favor of eating papaya. However, in the case of blood sugar stabilization while injecting insulin, you can try to eat papaya. If you are taking hypoglycemic drugs or injecting insulin when hypoglycemia occurs, you can eat papaya.

The origin of papaya is South America, but now we have papaya growing in our country, and there seems to be quite a lot of it. So it's hard to talk about where it's a specialty. As for diabetics, it's perfectly fine to eat it too, as long as it's not uncontrolled, there's nothing to worry about.

Papayas are not high in sugar, but have a sweet taste, more like watermelon or the like. The texture of these fruits is very deceptive, they contain no organic acids, and nothing interferes with the sweetness, so they taste sweet, but they don't contain a lot of sugar; papaya doesn't contain more than 10 percent sugar.

For diabetics, some fruits have a relatively high glycemic index, but eating a 100-200 grams does not cause major blood sugar problems. Food choices for diabetics can't just look at the glycemic index, but the glycemic load is more of a guide.

Papaya is a typical glycemic index and glycemic load are very low fruit, so diabetics at ease to eat, theoretically in the range of 1 pound are not a problem for a normal serving size, can not eat so much, so for papaya, diabetics do not have to be careful.

The vast majority of fruits, the impact on blood sugar is not big, diabetics eat a small amount is okay. However, fresh dates, bananas, hawthorn, durian and these, diabetics need to control.
