Papayas grown on trees, true or false? False, while the fruit papaya grows on a very large looking plant, it is not a tree, it is actually an herb! The herb itself is the Carica papaya, we eat the fruit of the herb. Though we really don’t know exactly where it originated, the papaya is believed native to tropical America, perhaps in southern Mexico and neighboring Central America. It is now cultivated in most tropical climates. It does not do well in the cold at all. A 2012 study conducted by the Journal of the International Society for Complementary Medicine Research concluded that papaya exerted a hypoglycemic and antioxidant effect; it also improved the lipid profile in diabetic rats. The study said that papaya significantly diminished blood glucose levels in diabetic rats. The study is great news for those with diabetes who want to add fruit to their diet. The papaya is a wonderful addition to the diet. Not only is it good, it is helpful in maintaining blood glucose levels. And it is good for you in other ways. The fruit is a potent source of beta-carotene and is also packed with vitamin A, B and C. Papaya is filled with anti-oxidants that obstruct or prevent further cell damage thus keeping heart and nervous ailments at bay. It has been shown that regular consumption of a generous serving of papaya helps impede progression of Type 2 diabetes. Unlike many fruits that have high sugar amounts, papaya despite being sweet has lower sugar content. So, is papaya good for diabetes? There is no question that it is. In addition to all that we have talked about, papaya is rich in fiber which makes you seem full long after you eat it. The problem is that papaya is really only readily available year round in larger markets. The good thing is, they keep really well. Yet another problem, however, is that is not cheap. But if you find fresh papaya, buy as much as you can afford, take it home, remove the rinds and the seeds, cut in cubes and it will last quite a while frozen. I hope this answered your question is papaya good or bad for diabetes.
