How to consume Poha - dry homemade poha without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of poha to manage the carbohydrate intake and its effect on blood sugar levels.

Add Protein

Include a source of protein such as boiled eggs, cottage cheese, or Greek yogurt with your meal to help slow down carbohydrate absorption.

Include Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats like nuts (almonds, walnuts) or seeds (chia seeds, flaxseeds) to your poha to balance your meal.

Incorporate Fiber

Mix in fibrous vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers to increase fiber content, which can slow down digestion.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and after meals to help with digestion and metabolism.

Add Vinegar or Lemon

A dash of vinegar or lemon juice on your poha can help in moderating blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully to give your body time to process the food and manage blood sugar levels effectively.

Pair with Low-Carb Foods

Serve poha with a side of low-carbohydrate foods like salad greens or cucumber slices.

Exercise Post-Meal

Engage in light physical activity such as a short walk post-meal to help lower blood sugar levels.

Monitor Timing

Consider having poha as a smaller part of your meal or as a breakfast option when your body can better handle glucose.
