3. People on Bl00d Sugar-Lowering Medications
Chayote is low in carbohydrates and naturally helps regulate blood sugar levels. While this is generally beneficial, it may enhance the effect of diabetes medications, potentially leading to hypoglycemia, or abnormally low blood sugar. Diabetic patients should monitor their blood sugar levels carefully when including chayote in their diet and discuss with their healthcare provider how much is safe to consume.
4. People with Sensitive Digestion
Chayote is high in fiber, which supports digestive health in most people. However, for those with sensitive digestive systems, eating large amounts of chayote can cause bloating, gas, or stomach discomfort. Introducing it gradually and cooking it well can help minimize digestive issues. People with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or other gastrointestinal sensitivities should pay special attention to portion sizes.
