How to consume Banana, Upma without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Add a source of protein, like a boiled egg or a small portion of Greek yogurt, to your meal to help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Include Healthy Fats

Incorporate a small handful of nuts, such as almonds or walnuts, alongside your meal to stabilize blood sugar levels.

Eat Smaller Portions

Reduce the portion size of the banana and upma to minimize their impact on blood sugar levels.

Add Fiber-Rich Foods

Include vegetables like spinach or a small salad with leafy greens, which can help moderate sugar absorption.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water throughout the meal to assist in the digestion process, which can help manage how quickly sugar enters the bloodstream.

Opt for Unripe Bananas

Choose slightly less ripe bananas, as they have less sugar content compared to fully ripe ones.

Incorporate Cinnamon

Sprinkle a small amount of cinnamon on your meal, as it may help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce spikes.

Chew Slowly and Thoroughly

Eating slowly can help your body better manage blood sugar spikes by giving insulin more time to act.

Go for a Walk

Engage in light physical activity like a short walk after eating, which can help reduce post-meal blood sugar levels.

Monitor Your Blood Sugar

Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after meals to understand how different foods affect you and adjust accordingly.
