How to consume Apple, Pears without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Combine apples or pears with a source of protein or healthy fats, such as a handful of nuts or a piece of cheese. This can help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Add Fiber-Rich Foods

Include high-fiber foods like chia seeds or flaxseeds with your fruit. The additional fiber can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Opt for Whole Fruits

Always choose whole apples and pears instead of juice or dried versions to ensure you're getting all the natural fiber, which can help moderate blood sugar spikes.

Eat Smaller Portions

Reduce the portion size of apples or pears. Instead of eating a whole fruit, try eating half and saving the rest for later.

Try Vinegar

Consider having a small amount of vinegar or a vinegar-based dressing with your meal before consuming the fruits. This can help in moderating blood sugar levels.

Consume with Leafy Greens

Eating apples and pears alongside leafy greens like spinach or kale can help slow down the digestion process, leading to a more gradual release of sugars.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before eating fruits. This can help you feel fuller and potentially reduce the amount you consume.

Choose Lower-Sugar Varieties

Whenever possible, select apple and pear varieties known for having lower sugar content, such as Granny Smith apples.

Mind the Timing

Eat fruits as part of a meal rather than on an empty stomach to help slow down the sugar absorption.

Incorporate Spices

Adding spices like cinnamon can enhance flavor without additional sugars and may help in reducing blood sugar spikes.
