How to consume Papaya, Poha without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Include a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or a boiled egg. Protein can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates, preventing a rapid increase in blood sugar levels.
Incorporate Healthy Fats
Add foods like avocado, nuts, or seeds to your meal. Healthy fats can help stabilize blood sugar by slowing digestion and glucose absorption.
Eat Fiber-rich Foods
Add more fiber-rich vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers to your papaya and poha meal. Fiber can slow the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream.
Reduce Portion Size
Consider reducing the amount of papaya and poha you consume in one sitting. Smaller portions can lead to smaller spikes in blood sugar.
Stay Hydrated
Drinking water before or after your meal can help with digestion and prevent dehydration, which can sometimes exacerbate blood sugar spikes.
Incorporate Whole Grains
If you enjoy poha, try mixing it with a small portion of whole grains like quinoa or barley to add more complex carbohydrates that digest slowly.
Eat a Balanced Meal
Ensure your meal includes a balance of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Balance can help manage blood sugar levels more effectively.
Add Cinnamon
Sprinkle a small amount of cinnamon on your papaya or poha. Some studies suggest that cinnamon may help improve insulin sensitivity.
Practice Portion Control
Use a smaller plate or bowl to help control portions and prevent overeating.
Monitor Timing
Pay attention to the timing of your meals; avoid eating large amounts of high-carb foods late at night when your body's ability to manage glucose may be reduced.
