How to consume Banana | Poha without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein or Fat
Combine your meal with a source of healthy protein or fat, such as a handful of nuts, seeds, or a small portion of yogurt, to slow down the absorption of sugars.
Increase Fiber Intake
Add more fiber-rich foods like chia seeds or flaxseeds to your meal to help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Stay Hydrated
Drink a glass of water before your meal to help with digestion and potentially moderate spikes in blood sugar.
Opt for Smaller Portions
Reduce the portion size of banana and poha to minimize the impact on your blood sugar.
Eat Slowly and Mindfully
Take your time to eat, chewing thoroughly to aid digestion and allow your body to process sugars more gradually.
Exercise After Eating
Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after your meal to help your muscles use up excess glucose in your bloodstream.
Add Vegetables
Incorporate non-starchy vegetables like cucumber or spinach into your meal to add bulk and reduce the overall sugar load.
Use Cinnamon
Sprinkle a small amount of cinnamon on your banana or poha. Cinnamon has been shown to help improve insulin sensitivity.
Space Out Carbohydrate Consumption
If you're consuming a meal with multiple carbohydrate sources, spread them out over a longer period rather than eating them all at once.
Monitor Your Blood Sugar Levels
Keep track of your blood sugar levels to understand how your body responds to different foods and adjust your diet accordingly.
