How to consume Espresso Coffee, Poha without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein and Healthy Fats
Include a source of protein such as a handful of nuts or a boiled egg, and healthy fats like a small piece of avocado when consuming poha. This can help slow the absorption of glucose into your bloodstream.
Add Fiber-Rich Foods
Incorporate fiber-rich vegetables such as spinach, kale, or bell peppers into your poha. Fiber can help manage glucose levels by slowing digestion.
Opt for Smaller Portions
Control your portion sizes of both espresso coffee and poha to prevent large glucose spikes.
Stay Hydrated
Drink a glass of water before and after your espresso to help your body metabolize caffeine more effectively and reduce potential spikes.
Choose Alternative Sweeteners
If you add sugar to your espresso, consider using a small amount of a natural sweetener like stevia, which doesn't cause glucose spikes.
Incorporate Physical Activity
Engage in a short walk or light exercise after eating to help your body use up glucose more efficiently.
Timing of Meals
Try consuming poha during a more active part of your day rather than at night, as your body can more effectively manage glucose when you're active.
Mindful Eating Practices
Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to aid digestion and better manage your glucose levels.
Use Spices Wisely
Add spices like cinnamon to your coffee or poha, as they may help improve glucose metabolism.
Monitor your Response
Keep track of how your body responds to these changes, and adjust your habits accordingly to find what works best for you.
