Fruits are beneficial for health, but due to the presence of natural sugar, diabetic patients are advised to consume them very carefully. However, there are some seasonal fruits that come in summer, which prove to be very beneficial in controlling blood sugar.
Actually, due to dehydration in summer, blood sugar in the body starts increasing very fast. In such a situation, to avoid its serious effects, you can include these 5 summer fruits in your diet.
Watermelon
Watermelon is not only sweet in taste, but also helps in controlling blood sugar. It has high water content, which keeps the body hydrated. Watermelon has a low glycemic index (GI), due to which it does not affect the sugar level.
Papaya
Papaya is another summer fruit that helps control blood sugar. It contains antioxidants, fiber and potassium, which keep the sugar level stable. Consumption of papaya also helps in improving the function of insulin in the body, which benefits diabetic patients.
Mango
Mango is rich in fiber and vitamin C, which does not allow the sugar to be absorbed quickly in the body. However, it should be consumed in moderate quantities.
Litchi
Litchi contains natural sugar, but along with this it also contains antioxidants and fiber, which control sugar. Consumption of litchi maintains the energy level in the body and helps in keeping blood sugar balanced. But it should also be consumed in limited quantities.
