How to consume Apples, Guava without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein and Healthy Fats

Consuming apples and guavas with a source of protein or healthy fats can help slow down the absorption of sugars. Consider eating them with a handful of almonds, a slice of cheese, or a spoonful of peanut butter.

Eat Whole Fruits in Moderation

While apples and guavas are healthy, eating them in moderation can prevent spikes. Opt for smaller portions rather than consuming large quantities at once.

Consume with Fiber-Rich Foods

Combine apples and guavas with fiber-rich foods to help stabilize blood sugar levels. Options include oatmeal, chia seeds, or a mixed greens salad.

Stay Hydrated

Drinking water throughout the day can aid in maintaining balanced blood sugar levels. Have a glass of water before eating fruit to help manage glucose spikes.

Choose Fruits at the Right Ripeness

Less ripe fruits tend to have lower sugar content. Opt for apples and guavas that are not overly ripe to minimize sugar intake.

Monitor Meal Timing

Spacing out your meals and snacks can prevent large glucose spikes. Try not to consume all your fruit at once but rather spread it out throughout the day.

Engage in Physical Activity

Light physical activity after eating apples or guavas can help use up the glucose and reduce spikes. Consider a short walk after your meal.

Incorporate Vinegar

Adding a small amount of vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar, to your meal may help mitigate blood sugar spikes. Use it in dressings or as a marinade.

Opt for Whole Fruits Over Juices

Always eat whole apples and guavas rather than drinking their juices, as whole fruits contain more fiber and less concentrated sugar.

Regular Monitoring

Keep track of your blood sugar levels to understand how your body responds to different foods and make necessary adjustments accordingly.
