How to consume cucumber (with peel), watermelon without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats
Combine cucumber and watermelon with a source of protein or healthy fats, such as a handful of nuts, a slice of cheese, or a boiled egg. This can help slow down the absorption of sugars into your bloodstream.
Portion Control
Pay attention to portion sizes. Consuming smaller amounts of cucumber and watermelon can help in managing the glucose spike.
Include Fiber-Rich Foods
Add fiber-rich foods to your meal, like chia seeds or flaxseeds, which can help slow down digestion and stabilize blood sugar levels.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help your body process sugars more efficiently.
Add Vinegar
Consider adding a splash of vinegar, like apple cider vinegar, to your cucumber. It can help in reducing the rate at which your stomach empties and thus slow down sugar absorption.
Engage in Light Physical Activity
After consuming cucumber and watermelon, take a short walk or engage in some light physical activity to help your body use the glucose more effectively.
Eat Vegetables First
Start your meal with non-starchy vegetables such as leafy greens or broccoli before consuming cucumber or watermelon. This can help moderate the glucose response.
Spread Out Consumption
Instead of eating cucumber and watermelon in one sitting, spread their consumption throughout the day to prevent a large glucose spike.
Monitor Blood Sugar Levels
Keep an eye on your blood sugar levels to understand how your body responds and make adjustments to your diet accordingly.
