In reality even those who have diabetes can consume fruit, the secret is to do it in the right way and above all by choosing the right fruit, the one that obviously contains less sugar, such as pineapple.
However, fruit that contains more sugar should not be eliminated from the diet but only reduced. It should not be forgotten that the quantity of carbohydrates contained in a given food is more important than their quality, which results in the glycemic index. Even sugary fruit can therefore be consumed with the necessary precautions and in the right (minimum) quantity.
FRUIT AND DIABETES: WHAT RELATIONSHIP IS IT?
For those who suffer from diabetes or only have high blood sugar, the portion of fruit given should not contain more than 15 grams of carbohydrates. This means that you can proportionately eat larger portions of fruit with less carbohydrate content. Respecting this proportion the impact of the two types of fruit on glucose levels will be similar. Besides the sugar content, it is also necessary to consider the richness of fibers: the more fibers there are, the lower the glycemic peak resulting from the intake. Orange juice, for example, has a higher glycemic index than the fruit in segments that contains much more fiber.
The blood sugar level rises even less if the clove is consumed with the white part of the peel because it is rich in pectin which lowers the glycemic level. So, in addition to quantity and fiber content, we must also consider the way in which the fruit is taken.
HOW TO EAT PINEAPPLE IF YOU HAVE HIGH GLYCEMIA
But let's get to the focus of this article: the pineapple. If fruits such as persimmons, figs, bananas, grapes, dried fruit and those in syrup are not recommended for people suffering from diabetes, varieties such as apples, pears, medlars, strawberries, apricots, oranges, peaches and raspberries can be consumed with more freedom. The pineapple provides some extra inspiration, and even a few more freedom steps. Let's see why.
The pineapple has a glycemic index which is not very low, to tell the truth, it is an average value so even in this case we must not abuse it, especially after meals. It can be consumed more easily away from meals but combined with proteins or good fats, such as nuts, seeds or avocado, in such a way as to limit its effects on blood sugar levels.
If, for example, you eat pineapple along with fiber-rich carbohydrates, proteins and good fats, the glycemic index is lower, and your blood sugar peak is reduced. This little trick also makes you feel fuller and longer.
However, pay attention to the level of pineapple ripening: the more ripe the fruit the higher the glycemic index. It should always be eaten fresh or at most frozen, not canned or canned because it contains added sugars, just like fruit juices. Those with high blood sugar should avoid all fruit juices, including pineapple even if it looks less sweet. It is only apparently.
With these precautions, consuming pineapples can also be a great advantage for diabetics and those suffering from blood sugar because this fruit contains vitamin C, manganese, fiber, vitamin A and vitamins of group B.
