How to consume Poha and tea without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of Poha and monitor your body's response. Smaller portions can help keep glucose levels in check.

Increase Fiber Intake

Add vegetables such as spinach, peas, or grated carrots to your Poha. This increases fiber content, which can help moderate glucose spikes.

Protein Pairing

Include a source of protein like boiled eggs or tofu with your meal. Protein slows down carbohydrate absorption, minimizing glucose spikes.

Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats like nuts or seeds (e.g., almonds or flaxseeds) to your Poha. Fats can slow down the digestion of carbohydrates.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Staying hydrated can have an overall beneficial effect on blood sugar levels.

Green Tea Substitute

If possible, switch to green tea or herbal tea instead of regular tea. These options have less impact on blood glucose levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity such as a short walk post-meal. This can help your body use up the glucose more efficiently.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to help your body better manage glucose absorption.

Meal Timing

Ensure you have balanced meals and snacks throughout the day to avoid large spikes.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of your glucose levels and note how different food combinations affect you. Adjust your meals based on these observations for better control.
