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

Pair with Protein

Include a source of protein such as boiled eggs, Greek yogurt, or cottage cheese with your meal. Protein helps to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or seeds. These fats can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Increase Fiber Intake

Opt for high-fiber vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or bell peppers alongside your meal to slow down digestion and sugar absorption.

Eat Smaller Portions

Reduce the overall portion size of your upma to decrease the carbohydrate load.

Opt for Whole Grains

If possible, prepare upma with whole grains such as millets, quinoa, or oats, which are slower to digest.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to help your body process the carbohydrates more effectively.

Incorporate Vinegar

Adding a small amount of vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar, to your meal can help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce glucose spikes.

Physical Activity

Engage in a short walk or light exercise after eating to help lower blood sugar levels.

Chew Thoroughly

Take your time to chew your food well. This aids in better digestion and slower absorption of carbohydrates.

Monitor Timing

Try to eat your meal at consistent times and avoid late-night eating, which can adversely affect blood sugar control.
