Dragon fruit is a tropical fruit. This particular fruit is considered as a delicacy and is considered healthy to consume for those who have diabetes.
Dragon fruit has a low glycemic index (GI) and is rich in antioxidants. Diabetics can consume 1 piece of dragon fruit as a filler in between meals or as a snack. It contains about 50 calories per 100 grams of the fruit’s flesh.
The Dragon Fruit has been used for centuries by the natives of Southeast Asia and China for its medicinal value. It was known to be helpful to treat diabetes, heart ailments, coughs, colds, constipation and other related problems.
According to a research conducted by the American Diabetes Association (ADA), dragon fruit contains high amounts of antioxidants that help to fight against oxidative stress induced by diabetes mellitus (DM). In fact, this powerful fruit helps to improve insulin sensitivity by reducing oxidative stress caused by diabetes mellitus.
The antioxidant properties of dragon fruit make it an ideal choice for diabetics who are suffering from high blood sugar levels due to their increased production of free radicals like reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS are highly toxic molecules that damage cells leading to chronic diseases.
