How to consume Mango without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats
Consume mango with a source of protein or healthy fats such as nuts, seeds, or Greek yogurt. This can help slow down the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream.
Opt for Smaller Portions
Reduce the portion size of mango you consume. Even a small reduction can significantly decrease the impact on your blood sugar levels.
Balance with Fiber
Add fiber-rich foods to your meal when eating mango, such as chia seeds, flaxseeds, or a salad with leafy greens, to slow the digestion process.
Combine with Complex Carbohydrates
Instead of eating mango on its own, pair it with complex carbohydrates like quinoa or whole grain crackers to moderate the glucose spike.
Stay Hydrated
Drink water before and after eating mango. Proper hydration helps your body regulate blood sugar levels more effectively.
Eat Mango as Part of a Balanced Meal
Incorporate mango into a meal rather than eating it alone. This could include adding mango to a chicken salad or a vegetable stir-fry.
Incorporate Physical Activity
Consider a short walk or light exercise session after consuming mango to help your body use up the glucose more efficiently.
Monitor Timing
Have mango earlier in the day when your body may be more efficient at managing blood sugar levels, rather than late in the evening.
Focus on Ripeness
Choose mangoes that are less ripe, as they contain lower sugar levels compared to fully ripe ones.
Include Cinnamon
Add a sprinkle of cinnamon to your mango slices. Cinnamon is known to help improve insulin sensitivity and can mitigate blood sugar spikes.
