How to consume Poha and tea without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of poha and tea to prevent overconsumption of carbohydrates that can lead to a spike in blood sugar levels.

Add Protein

Incorporate a source of protein like boiled eggs, Greek yogurt, or cottage cheese to your meal. Protein can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Fiber

Add vegetables such as spinach, peas, or grated carrots to your poha. Fiber-rich foods can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Use Whole Grains

Consider using red or brown poha instead of the regular variety, as they contain more fiber and nutrients.

Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats like nuts, seeds, or a small amount of avocado to your meal to help prolong digestion and prevent spikes.

Reduce Sugar in Tea

Limit or eliminate the sugar in your tea. You can use natural sweeteners like stevia if needed.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and after your meal to help with digestion and prevent dehydration, which can affect blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Take a short walk or engage in light physical activity after your meal to help your body utilize the glucose more effectively.

Monitor Timing

Try to consume your poha meal earlier in the day when your body's insulin sensitivity is usually higher, leading to better glucose management.

Mindful Eating

Focus on eating slowly and mindfully. This approach can aid in digestion and help you recognize when you are full, preventing overeating.
