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.
