How to consume Green String Beans without glucose spikes
Combine with Protein
Pair green string beans with a source of lean protein, such as grilled chicken breast, tofu, or legumes. This can help stabilize your blood sugar levels.
Include Healthy Fats
Add healthy fats like avocado slices, olive oil, or a handful of nuts to your meal. These fats can slow down the absorption of glucose.
Add Fiber
Incorporate additional fiber-rich foods such as chia seeds, flaxseeds, or leafy greens like spinach to your meal to help regulate blood sugar spikes.
Moderate Portion Size
Be mindful of your portion sizes when consuming green string beans to avoid consuming more carbohydrates than your body can handle at once.
Include Vinegar
Use a splash of vinegar, such as apple cider or balsamic, on your green string beans. Vinegar has been suggested to help lower blood sugar levels.
Maintain Regular Meal Times
Eat at consistent times each day to help your body maintain a regular blood sugar pattern.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water throughout the day, as proper hydration can help with glucose regulation.
Physical Activity
Engage in light physical activity like a short walk after your meal to help your body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.
Pair with Whole Grains
If you're including grains in your meal, choose whole grains such as quinoa or barley to provide additional fiber and nutrients.
Monitor Total Carbohydrate Intake
Be aware of your overall carbohydrate intake during the meal and adjust accordingly to maintain balanced blood sugar levels.
