How to consume beets, mixed salad greens without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Add a source of lean protein, such as grilled chicken, tofu, or chickpeas, to your meal. Protein can help slow down the absorption of glucose.
Include Healthy Fats
Incorporate healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or seeds into your salad. These can help stabilize blood sugar levels and provide satiety.
Add Vinegar or Lemon Juice
Use a dressing with vinegar or lemon juice. Acids can help moderate blood sugar levels after a meal.
Increase Fiber Intake
Add extra fiber-rich vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, or bell peppers. Fiber slows digestion and can help prevent spikes.
Drink Water
Make sure to drink water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated can aid in digestion and glucose regulation.
Eat Slowly
Focus on eating slowly and chewing thoroughly. Taking your time with meals can help prevent overeating and aid in better glucose management.
Consider Timing
Consume beets and salad greens earlier in the day when your body may be more effective at managing glucose levels, compared to later in the evening.
Add Legumes
Include legumes like lentils or black beans in your salad. They are not only high in protein and fiber but also help stabilize blood sugar.
Monitor Portion Sizes
Be mindful of the portion sizes of beets, as larger amounts could contribute to a higher glucose spike.
Physical Activity
Engage in light physical activity, such as a walk, after eating. This can help your body utilize glucose more effectively and reduce spikes.
