How to consume Poha and chai without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of poha and chai. Smaller portions can help manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

Increase Fiber Intake

Add vegetables to your poha. Incorporating ingredients like peas, carrots, or spinach can increase the fiber content and help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Protein Addition

Include a source of protein in your meal. You can add boiled eggs, tofu, or a small amount of roasted peanuts to your poha, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Opt for Whole Grains

If possible, use brown rice flakes instead of regular poha. This can provide more fiber, leading to a slower release of sugars.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water or herbal tea instead of chai, or limit the sugar and milk in your chai to reduce its impact on your blood sugar levels.

Regular Meal Timing

Maintain consistent meal times to help regulate blood sugar levels throughout the day. Avoid skipping meals, which can lead to spikes when you do eat.

Physical Activity

Incorporate a short walk or light exercise after meals. Physical activity can help your body use up glucose more efficiently.

Healthy Fats Introduction

Add a small amount of healthy fats, like avocados or a few nuts, to your meal. They can help slow down digestion and sugar absorption.

Monitor Ingredients

While preparing poha, use minimal sugar and avoid adding sugar to your chai or use alternatives like stevia.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully. Chewing thoroughly and taking time to eat can improve digestion and help prevent blood sugar spikes.
