How to consume Boiled Egg, Poha without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of poha you consume. Smaller portions can help in managing glucose levels more effectively.

Add Protein

Include a source of protein such as a small portion of nuts or seeds (like almonds or chia seeds) alongside your meal. This can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Adding a small amount of healthy fats, like avocado or a sprinkle of olive oil, can further moderate the glucose spike by slowing digestion.

Mix with Vegetables

Add non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, bell peppers, or tomatoes to your poha. This increases fiber content, which can help in stabilizing blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. Hydration can help improve your body's ability to regulate blood sugar.

Pre-Meal Exercise

Engage in a short walk or light exercise session before eating. Physical activity can enhance your body's insulin sensitivity.

Herbs and Spices

Use herbs and spices like cinnamon or turmeric in your poha. These are known to have beneficial effects on blood sugar management.

Eat Slowly

Take your time while eating, and chew thoroughly. Eating slowly can improve digestion and prevent rapid glucose spikes.

Regular Meal Timing

Maintain a consistent meal schedule to help your body manage blood sugar levels more efficiently.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of your blood glucose response to meals and adjust ingredients or portion sizes as necessary to find what works best for you.
