How to consume Guava without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Incorporate a source of protein such as nuts, seeds, or Greek yogurt when consuming guava to help slow down the absorption of sugar.

Include Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats like avocado, a small portion of cheese, or a drizzle of olive oil to your meal to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Opt for Whole Grains

If you're having guava as part of a meal, choose whole grains like quinoa, barley, or whole-grain bread to accompany it, as they digest more slowly.

Increase Fiber Intake

Add high-fiber foods such as lentils, beans, or vegetables like broccoli or spinach to your diet to help mitigate glucose spikes.

Portion Control

Consume smaller portions of guava to reduce the overall impact on your blood sugar.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and after eating guava to aid digestion and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Avoid Added Sugars

Ensure that other foods consumed alongside guava do not contain added sugars which can exacerbate glucose spikes.

Exercise Regularly

Engage in regular physical activity to improve insulin sensitivity and assist in maintaining stable blood sugar levels.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat and chew thoroughly, which can help in better digestion and a slower rise in blood sugar.

Monitor Your Response

Keep track of how your body reacts to guava and adjust your diet or portion sizes accordingly to maintain balanced glucose levels.
