Papaya is an exotic fruit that is widely found in most parts of the world. Surprisingly, this greenish-orange fruit is loaded with several health benefits. It consists of many essential vitamins like A, B, C and E and minerals like folate, magnesium, copper, potassium, lutein, pantothenic acid. Papaya is also rich in antioxidants like lycopene,which make it a good food choice for combating different health issues especially diabetes. People with diabetes are usually recommended to consume foods high in fiber to lower their blood glucose levels. However, they should also restrict consumption of sweet and sugary things. Since papaya is high in fiber and low in sugar (8.3 gm in one cup of sliced papaya), it is considered a healthy food for diabetics. Vitamin C along with other antioxidants in papaya also help lower the risk of heart disease in people with diabetes. [High blood sugar levels in diabetes happen due to the malfunctioning of the pancreatic cells which need to be managed by regular workout and a healthy diet.]Also Read – Know these 5 health benefits of papaya
