How to consume Banana, Pomegranates without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Consume bananas and pomegranates with protein-rich foods like Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or nuts. This combination can help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Add Fiber

Incorporate fiber-rich foods such as chia seeds, flaxseeds, or oatmeal when consuming bananas and pomegranates to help moderate the spike in glucose levels.

Portion Control

Limit your portion size of bananas and pomegranates to manage the sugar intake effectively. Opt for half a banana or a small serving of pomegranate seeds.

Choose Unripe or Less Ripe Fruits

Less ripe bananas contain more resistant starch, which can help in reducing the speed at which sugars are absorbed.

Stay Active Post-Meal

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after consuming these fruits to help your body process the glucose more efficiently.

Add Leafy Greens

Combine bananas and pomegranates with leafy greens like spinach or kale in smoothies or salads to balance the sugar content.

Hydration

Drink water before and after consuming sugary fruits to aid digestion and help in dispersing the sugars more evenly in the bloodstream.

Use Citrus

Squeeze a bit of lemon or lime juice over your fruit salad. The acid can slow down the digestion of carbohydrates.

Eat Whole Fruits

Whenever possible, eat whole bananas and pomegranates instead of juice or processed forms to benefit from the natural fibers present in the whole fruit.
