How to consume Banana | Poha without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Combine your banana or poha with protein sources like a handful of nuts or a boiled egg. The addition of healthy fats and protein can help slow down the absorption of sugar.

Portion Control

Eat smaller portions of banana or poha to minimize the spike in glucose levels. Consider halving your usual serving size.

Choose Unripe Bananas

Opt for bananas that are slightly green. They have more resistant starch, which can be digested more slowly.

Add Fiber

Enhance your meal with high-fiber foods like chia seeds or flaxseeds. This addition can help slow digestion and regulate blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before or with your meal. Staying hydrated can aid in digestion and help manage blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light exercise, such as a brisk walk, after eating. Physical activity can help your body utilize glucose more efficiently.

Cinnamon Addition

Sprinkle some cinnamon on your banana or add it to your poha. Cinnamon may help improve insulin sensitivity.

Fruits and Vegetables

Include non-starchy vegetables or low-sugar fruits like berries with your meal to add volume and nutrients without significantly affecting blood sugar.

Monitor Timing

Try consuming your banana or poha as part of a meal rather than on an empty stomach to prevent a sudden glucose spike.

Whole Grain Poha

If possible, choose poha made from whole grains to increase fiber content and slow digestion.
