How to consume chai, kanda poha without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of kanda poha and chai to limit the intake of carbohydrates.

Protein Addition

Add a source of protein to your meal, such as a boiled egg or some Greek yogurt, which can help slow down carbohydrate absorption.

Fiber-Rich Foods

Include more fiber in your meal by adding vegetables like spinach or broccoli, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats such as a few slices of avocado or a sprinkle of nuts and seeds like almonds or flaxseeds to provide satiety and slow down glucose absorption.

Cinnamon

Sprinkle some cinnamon into your chai, as it is known to help improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar spikes.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before your meal to aid digestion and potentially reduce the appetite for large portions.

Exercise

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after your meal to help your body utilize the glucose more effectively.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully to give your body time to signal fullness and prevent overeating.

Meal Timing

Try to space out your chai and kanda poha from other carbohydrate-rich meals to prevent cumulative spikes.

Adjust Ingredients

Opt for poha made with brown or red rice flakes for a slower glucose release compared to the traditional white rice flakes.
