How to consume Oranges, Poha without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Include a source of protein such as Greek yogurt or cottage cheese when consuming oranges or poha. Protein helps slow the absorption of sugar, leading to a more gradual increase in blood glucose levels.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats like nuts or seeds. You can sprinkle chia seeds or flaxseeds on poha or have a handful of almonds with your orange.

Incorporate Fiber

Add fiber-rich foods to your meal to help slow down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates. Consider adding vegetables like spinach or peas to your poha, or enjoy your orange with a small side salad.

Moderate Portion Sizes

Limit the portion size of the oranges and poha. Consuming smaller amounts can help prevent blood sugar spikes.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before eating your meal. Proper hydration can help your body process the sugars more efficiently.

Opt for Whole Grains

If possible, use whole grain poha to increase the fiber content and help reduce its impact on blood sugar levels.

Exercise

Engage in light physical activity such as walking after meals. Physical activity can help your muscles use glucose more effectively.

Monitor Meal Timing

Eat your oranges or poha as part of a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach to minimize blood sugar spikes.
