How to consume Almonds, Upma without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the serving size of almonds and upma to prevent excessive intake of carbohydrates and fats, which can contribute to glucose spikes.

Balanced Meals

Pair almonds and upma with foods rich in fiber, protein, and healthy fats to slow down the absorption of sugars. For example, include non-starchy vegetables like broccoli or spinach in your meal.

Timing and Frequency

Spread out your intake of potential spike-inducing foods throughout the day instead of consuming them all at once. This can help manage overall blood sugar levels.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help your body metabolize carbohydrates more effectively and maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light exercise, such as walking, after meals. Physical activity helps increase insulin sensitivity and aids in glucose metabolism.

Incorporate Low-Impact Carbohydrates

Substitute some of the upma with foods like quinoa, barley, or legumes (e.g., lentils, chickpeas) that have a gentler impact on blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to give your body time to process the food and signal fullness, which may help moderate blood sugar rises.

Monitor Blood Sugar

Keep track of your blood sugar levels to identify patterns and adjust your diet accordingly. This can help you understand how specific foods affect your glucose levels.

Include Healthy Fats

Add sources of healthy fats such as avocados or seeds (e.g., chia seeds, flaxseeds) to your meals to help lower the glycemic response.

Stress Management

Practice stress-reducing techniques like meditation or deep-breathing exercises, as stress can affect blood sugar levels.
