Best Fruits For Diabetics: Water Melon, Star Fruit And Wax Apple

Fruits are very much part of a dietary approach in tackling diabetes since the early days. In particular, the watermelon, a fruit with a high glycemic index but low glycemic load has always been listed among the fruits for diabetics. The smaller star fruit can match up to the diabetics' needs just as well as the bigger water-melon. In fact the fiber of both fruits are equally efficient in lowering high blood pressure naturally. Besides, the 2 fruits are low in sugar, high in water content and are thus low in calories. However, the star-fruit has a neurotoxin that attacks a distressed kidney and so should not be taken by those with kidney problems. The wax apple has all the properties that support a diabetic diet and it tonifies your heart and brain as well. Its bland taste offsets stronger flavors and is often added to enrich salads with vitamins.
