How to consume 500ml cow milk without glucose spikes

Combine with Fiber-Rich Foods

Pair the milk with foods such as oats, barley, or quinoa. These foods help slow down digestion and the absorption of sugars.

Include Healthy Fats

Add nuts or seeds, like almonds or chia seeds, to your meal. Healthy fats can moderate the rise in glucose levels.

Incorporate Protein Sources

Consume a protein-rich food like boiled eggs or a small serving of chicken or fish alongside the milk to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Opt for Whole Grains

If consuming bread or cereal, choose whole grain options such as whole grain bread or bran cereal, which can slow carbohydrate absorption.

Add Non-Starchy Vegetables

Include vegetables like spinach, kale, or broccoli in your meal. They are low in carbohydrates and high in fiber.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help your body manage glucose more efficiently.

Engage in Physical Activity

Take a short walk or engage in light physical activity after consuming milk to help your muscles use up excess glucose.

Monitor Portion Sizes

If possible, reduce the quantity of milk or consume it in smaller portions throughout the day instead of all at once.

Consider Fermented Dairy

Opt for yogurt or kefir instead of milk, as the fermentation process can help reduce the impact on blood sugar levels.

Monitor and Adjust

If you frequently experience large glucose spikes, consider keeping track of your blood sugar levels and adjusting your diet accordingly with the help of a healthcare professional.
