How to consume cucumber (with peel), upma without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the quantity of cucumber and upma consumed in one sitting. Smaller portions can help in managing the blood sugar response.

Balanced Meal Composition

Pair cucumber and upma with a source of protein and healthy fats, such as grilled chicken or tofu and avocado. This combination can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Meal Timing

Consider splitting your meal into smaller portions spread throughout the day to prevent large spikes in glucose.

Fiber-Rich Additions

Incorporate additional fiber-rich foods, such as lentils or chickpeas, to your meal. Fiber can help in slowing the digestion process.

Physical Activity

Engage in light exercises, like walking, after meals. Physical activity can assist in lowering blood glucose levels.

Hydration

Ensure adequate hydration by drinking plenty of water, which can aid in the efficient metabolism of carbohydrates.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully to give your body time to process the food and regulate glucose levels.

Substitute Ingredients

Consider incorporating ingredients like quinoa or barley into your upma to add nutrition and manage glucose levels better.

Herbal Teas

Drink herbal teas, such as chamomile or peppermint, which can support digestion and potentially mitigate glucose spikes.

Regular Monitoring

Keep track of your blood glucose levels to understand how different foods affect you personally and adjust your diet accordingly.
