How to consume Poha and tea without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of your Poha to decrease the carbohydrate load and its impact on your blood sugar levels.

Add Protein

Include a protein source such as boiled eggs or a handful of nuts like almonds or walnuts with your meal to slow down the absorption of glucose.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats such as avocado, olive oil, or flaxseeds to your Poha to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Increase Fiber

Mix in fibrous vegetables like spinach, peas, or bell peppers with your Poha to slow down digestion and absorption of sugars.

Choose Better Tea Options

Opt for unsweetened herbal teas or green tea, which have minimal impact on blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal to help with digestion and maintain hydration, which can assist in blood sugar control.

Add a Side of Low-Sugar Fruits

Have a small portion of berries or an apple slice to add fiber without causing a significant rise in blood sugar.

Timing of Meals

Eat your meals at regular intervals and avoid long gaps between them to prevent sharp spikes and drops in blood sugar.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating to help lower blood sugar levels through increased insulin sensitivity.

Monitor Your Response

Keep track of how your body responds to these changes by regularly checking your blood sugar levels, and adjust your meal composition and portions accordingly.
