How to consume Apples, Guava without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Consuming apples and guavas with a source of protein or healthy fats can help stabilize your blood sugar levels. Consider pairing them with nuts, seeds, or a small serving of yogurt.

Choose Whole Fruits

Instead of opting for fruit juices or dried fruits, eat whole apples and guavas to benefit from the fiber content, which can slow down the absorption of sugars.

Monitor Portion Sizes

Eating smaller portions can help manage glucose spikes. Consider having half an apple or a small guava instead of a whole one, especially if you're sensitive to sugar spikes.

Add Cinnamon

Sprinkle cinnamon on your apples or guavas before consuming. Some studies suggest that cinnamon may help control blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Leafy Greens

Consuming a salad with leafy greens like spinach or kale before or alongside your fruit can help moderate blood sugar spikes.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and after eating your fruit. Staying well-hydrated can help with glucose metabolism.

Space Out Fruit Consumption

Rather than eating multiple servings of fruit at once, space them out throughout the day to prevent a significant spike.

Engage in Light Physical Activity

After eating apples or guavas, consider going for a short walk or engaging in light physical activity to help your body use the glucose more effectively.

Use Vinegar

Try consuming a small amount of vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar, before your meal. Some research indicates that vinegar can improve insulin sensitivity.

Opt for Unripe or Less Ripe Fruits

Slightly underripe fruits may have less sugar content than fully ripe ones, which can help minimize spikes.
