How to consume tea (lemon flavored, instant powder, with added ascorbic acid, sweetened with sugar) without glucose spikes

Opt for Smaller Portions

Reduce the amount of instant powder you use to make your tea, which will decrease the sugar content and potentially minimize the spike.

Add Protein or Healthy Fats

Consume a small snack like a handful of nuts or a piece of cheese alongside your tea. The protein and healthy fats can help slow down sugar absorption.

Incorporate Fiber

Pair your tea with a high-fiber food, such as a small serving of oatmeal or a slice of whole-grain bread, to help moderate the body's absorption of sugar.

Choose Natural Sweeteners

Consider replacing some or all of the sugar in your tea with natural sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit, which do not impact blood sugar levels as much.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Proper hydration can help your body balance blood sugar levels more effectively.

Physical Activity Post-Consumption

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after enjoying your tea. This can assist in lowering blood sugar levels by increasing your cells' sensitivity to insulin.

Modify Timing

Consider drinking your tea during or after a meal instead of on an empty stomach, as the other foods can help mitigate a rise in blood sugar levels.

Add Cinnamon

Sprinkle a little cinnamon into your tea. Cinnamon has been shown to help improve blood sugar control.

Monitor Timing of Consumption

Be mindful of when you consume your tea. Drinking it in the morning or earlier in the day may give your body more time to metabolize the sugar before bedtime.

Explore Alternatives

Experiment with other herbal teas that do not contain added sugar or opt for lemon-infused water to enjoy the citrus flavor without the added sugar.
