How to consume banana, english pumpkin seeds without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats
Consume bananas and pumpkin seeds with a source of protein or healthy fats, such as Greek yogurt, almond butter, or cheese. This can slow down the absorption of glucose into your bloodstream.
Incorporate Fiber-rich Foods
Add fiber-rich foods like chia seeds or oats to your meal to help stabilize blood sugar levels. These foods can help slow down digestion.
Limit Portion Size
Reduce the serving size of bananas and pumpkin seeds. Smaller portions mean less sugar entering your system at a time, which can help minimize spikes.
Choose Unripe Bananas
Opt for less ripe bananas, which contain more resistant starch. This type of starch digests more slowly and can reduce rapid glucose spikes.
Include Leafy Greens
Add a side of leafy greens like spinach or kale to your meal. These are low in carbohydrates and can help moderate blood sugar levels.
Stay Hydrated
Drink water before and after eating. Proper hydration can help your body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.
Add Cinnamon
Sprinkle cinnamon on your banana or pumpkin seeds. Some studies suggest cinnamon might help improve insulin sensitivity.
Exercise Moderately
Engage in light exercise, such as a short walk, within 30 minutes of eating. This can help your muscles use up glucose more efficiently.
Monitor Timing
Eat bananas and pumpkin seeds as part of a larger meal rather than on an empty stomach. This can help mitigate their impact on your blood sugar.
Opt for Whole Grains
Include a small portion of whole grains like quinoa or barley alongside your meal, as these digest more slowly than refined grains.
