How to consume Bananas, Poha without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats
Combine bananas or poha with a source of protein or healthy fats, such as almonds, walnuts, or Greek yogurt. This can help slow down the absorption of sugars and reduce glucose spikes.
Portion Control
Pay attention to portion sizes. Consuming smaller portions of bananas or poha can help manage blood sugar levels more effectively.
Add Fiber
Include high-fiber foods in your meal to slow digestion and sugar absorption. You can add chia seeds, flaxseeds, or a side salad with mixed greens to your meal.
Choose Ripe Bananas Wisely
Opt for bananas that are not overly ripe, as they tend to have a lower sugar content compared to very ripe bananas.
Incorporate Whole Grains
When preparing poha, consider adding whole grains like quinoa or bulgur to increase nutritional value and help balance blood sugar levels.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Proper hydration can aid in maintaining stable blood glucose levels.
Include Vinegar
Consider adding a splash of vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar, in your poha recipe. Vinegar can help improve insulin sensitivity when consumed with meals.
Physical Activity
Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating. This can help lower glucose levels by promoting better insulin sensitivity.
Eat Slowly
Chew your food thoroughly and eat slowly. This can aid in better digestion and prevent rapid glucose spikes.
Monitor and Adjust
Keep track of how your body responds to these foods and adjust your dietary habits accordingly. Regular monitoring can help you identify what works best for you.
