How to consume Green String Beans without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of green string beans to see if a smaller amount causes less of a glucose spike.

Increase Fiber Intake

Pair the green string beans with high-fiber foods such as chia seeds, flaxseeds, or a small serving of lentils to help slow down the absorption of glucose.

Add Healthy Fats

Include a source of healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or olive oil in your meal. These can help stabilize blood sugar levels and reduce spikes.

Incorporate Protein

Add a lean protein source such as grilled chicken, tofu, or fish to your meal. Protein can help moderate the impact of carbohydrates on your blood sugar.

Cook with Vinegar

Use a splash of vinegar, like apple cider or balsamic, when cooking or dressing your green beans. Vinegar has been suggested to help improve insulin sensitivity.

Eat Slowly and Mindfully

Take your time when eating and chew thoroughly. This practice can improve digestion and regulate the speed of carbohydrate absorption.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Proper hydration can support metabolic processes and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Monitor Overall Diet

Keep an eye on the overall balance of your meal. Ensure it's not overly high in carbohydrates by incorporating low-carb vegetables like leafy greens.

Use Spices Wisely

Add spices such as cinnamon or turmeric to your green beans. These spices may have beneficial effects on blood sugar levels.

Exercise Post-Meal

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk after eating, to help your body use the glucose more effectively and prevent spikes.
