How to consume Poha and chai without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Limit the quantity of poha you consume to manage the spike. Smaller portions can help in maintaining more stable glucose levels.
Incorporate Protein
Add a source of protein to your meal, such as a boiled egg, paneer, or a handful of nuts like almonds or walnuts, which can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Add Fiber
Enhance your poha with fibrous vegetables like spinach, peas, or bell peppers to slow digestion and absorption of sugars.
Healthy Fats
Include a small amount of healthy fats, such as avocado slices or a sprinkle of chia seeds, to help modulate blood sugar levels.
Limit Sugar in Chai
Reduce or eliminate sugar in your chai. Consider using a natural sugar alternative like stevia if you need a sweetener.
Choose Whole Grains
If possible, use red rice poha instead of white rice poha, as it may have a lower impact on blood sugar.
Pre-Meal Exercise
Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, before eating to help improve insulin sensitivity.
Drink Water
Stay hydrated by drinking a glass of water before your meal, which can also aid digestion.
Mindful Eating
Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to allow your body to signal when it's full, preventing overeating.
Monitor Timing
Try consuming poha and chai during breakfast when your body may be more insulin-sensitive, rather than later in the day.
