How to consume Bhujia, Poha without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the amount of Bhujia and Poha consumed in one sitting. Smaller portions can help mitigate glucose spikes.

Add Protein

Incorporate a source of protein, such as boiled eggs, yogurt, or a handful of nuts, with your meal to slow down digestion and glucose absorption.

Include Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats like avocado slices, olive oil, or flaxseeds to your meal to provide sustained energy and reduce glucose fluctuations.

Increase Fiber

Mix in high-fiber foods like vegetables (e.g., spinach or bell peppers) or legumes (e.g., lentils or chickpeas) with your Poha to slow carbohydrate absorption.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to help slow the digestion process and manage glucose levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating to help utilize the glucose in your bloodstream more effectively.

Timing

Eat Bhujia and Poha earlier in the day when your body is more insulin-sensitive, rather than at night.

Mindful Eating

Practice mindful eating by chewing slowly and savoring each bite, which can aid in better digestion and glucose regulation.

Substitute Ingredients

Consider using brown rice or quinoa instead of traditional Poha rice flakes for a lower-carb alternative.

Monitor Blood Sugar

Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after meals to understand how different foods affect you individually, allowing for better management of spikes.
