How to consume Bananas, Sandwich without glucose spikes

Combine with Protein or Healthy Fats

Include a source of protein or healthy fats with your meal, such as a handful of nuts, a small serving of yogurt, or slices of avocado, to slow down the absorption of sugars.

Eat with Fiber-Rich Foods

Add fiber-rich foods like a small green salad, chia seeds, or a portion of lentils to your meal to help moderate blood sugar levels.

Drink Water

Staying well-hydrated can assist in stabilizing glucose levels, so ensure you drink a glass of water with your meal.

Choose Whole Grain Bread

Opt for whole grain or multi-grain bread when making sandwiches, as these have a slower effect on blood sugar compared to refined bread.

Control Portion Sizes

Be mindful of the portions of bananas and bread in your meal. Consider having a smaller amount to reduce the overall carbohydrate load.

Eat Slowly and Mindfully

Eating slowly can help your body better manage insulin responses, allowing for more stable glucose levels.

Incorporate Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after your meal to help your body use up the glucose more efficiently.

Add Cinnamon

Sprinkle a bit of cinnamon on your bananas or in your sandwich. Some studies suggest that cinnamon can help improve insulin sensitivity.

Consume Vinegar

Include a small amount of vinegar, such as balsamic or apple cider, in your meal, perhaps in a salad dressing, as it may help reduce blood sugar spikes.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of how specific food combinations affect your blood sugar levels and adjust your meals accordingly to identify what works best for your body.
