How to consume Apple, Pear without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Consume the apple or pear with a source of protein, such as a handful of almonds or a piece of cheese, to help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Add Healthy Fats

Include a healthy fat, like a spoonful of peanut butter or a few slices of avocado, to your fruit snack. This combination can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Choose Whole Fruits

Always opt for whole fruits rather than fruit juices or purees, as the fiber in whole fruits aids in moderating sugar absorption.

Eat with Non-Starchy Vegetables

Combine your apple or pear with non-starchy vegetables, such as cucumber slices or cherry tomatoes, to balance your meal and reduce the glucose spike.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before consuming your fruit. Adequate hydration can support better metabolic responses.

Include Cinnamon

Sprinkle a little cinnamon on your apple or pear. Cinnamon has been shown to help moderate blood sugar levels.

Opt for Smaller Portions

Instead of a whole fruit, try having half of an apple or pear to minimize the glucose response.

Consume Post-Exercise

If possible, eat your fruit after exercising, as physical activity can improve insulin sensitivity and help your body handle the glucose more efficiently.

Mindful Eating

Take your time to eat slowly and mindfully, which can improve digestion and help regulate blood sugar levels.

Regular Meal Schedule

Maintain a regular eating schedule with balanced meals to prevent sharp spikes in blood sugar when eating fruits.
