How to consume Homemade Poha - Poha without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Start by eating smaller servings of poha to minimize the immediate impact on your blood sugar levels.
Add Protein
Incorporate a source of protein such as boiled chickpeas, paneer, or tofu into your poha. Proteins can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Include Healthy Fats
Add a small amount of healthy fats such as a sprinkle of seeds (like flaxseeds or chia seeds) or a few pieces of chopped nuts (like almonds or walnuts) to your poha.
Mix in Vegetables
Enhance your poha with non-starchy vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or grated carrots. These can add fiber and reduce the overall impact on blood sugar.
Use Whole Grains
If possible, try using a poha made from red rice or brown rice instead of the traditional version, as these may have a more gradual effect on blood sugar.
Include Vinegar
Add a splash of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice to your poha. The acidity can help moderate blood sugar spikes.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to aid digestion and support metabolic processes.
Exercise Moderately
Engage in a short walk or gentle exercise after meals to help your body manage glucose levels more effectively.
Eat Slowly and Mindfully
Take your time to chew your food thoroughly and savor each bite. This can help your body better regulate blood sugar levels.
Monitor Regularly
Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after consuming poha to understand how your body responds and make adjustments accordingly.
