How to consume Poha and chai without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of Poha to limit the carbohydrate intake. A smaller serving can help manage glucose levels better.

Add Protein

Incorporate a source of protein, such as a boiled egg, tofu, or a handful of nuts, to your meal. Protein can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates, helping to prevent spikes.

Include Fiber

Add more vegetables to your Poha, such as spinach, bell peppers, or carrots. Fiber-rich foods slow down digestion and absorption, stabilizing glucose levels.

Use Low-Fat Milk

Prepare your chai with low-fat or plant-based milk options, like almond milk, to reduce the overall calorie and sugar content.

Minimize Sugar

Limit or avoid adding sugar to your chai. If needed, use a natural, low-sugar sweetener like stevia.

Hydration

Drink a glass of water before your meal, as staying hydrated can help in managing blood sugar levels.

Eat Slowly

Take time to eat your meal slowly, which aids digestion and helps in better glucose management.

Balanced Diet

Combine your meal with a small serving of a low-sugar fruit, like berries, to add nutrients and help balance the overall dietary intake.

Regular Monitoring

Keep track of your glucose levels before and after meals to understand better how different foods affect your body, allowing you to make informed dietary choices.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating to help your body metabolize glucose more effectively.
