How to consume 1 apple without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Consume the apple alongside a source of protein, such as a handful of nuts, Greek yogurt, or a boiled egg. Protein can help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Add Healthy Fats

Include a small serving of healthy fats, like almond butter or a few slices of avocado, when eating the apple. This can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Eat Fiber-Rich Foods

Pair the apple with fiber-rich foods like chia seeds or oats, which can help moderate the rise in glucose levels.

Mind Portion Size

Consider eating half an apple instead of a whole one to reduce the overall sugar intake.

Pre-Meal Exercise

Engage in light physical activity, such as a 10-minute walk, before or after eating the apple to help your body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before consuming the apple, as proper hydration can aid in maintaining stable blood sugar levels.

Timed Consumption

Eat the apple as part of a balanced meal rather than on its own, to benefit from the combined effect of other nutrients in the meal.

Opt for Whole Apples

Choose whole apples over apple juice or applesauce, as whole fruits retain more fiber, which helps in controlling blood sugar spikes.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of how your body responds to eating an apple and adjust your approach as needed, possibly by combining different strategies or trying new ones.
