How to consume Poha | Poha without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of Poha you consume to minimize the impact on your blood sugar levels.

Add Vegetables

Incorporate non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, peas, or bell peppers into your Poha to add fiber and slow down glucose absorption.

Include Protein

Add a source of protein like boiled eggs, tofu, or nuts to your Poha to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Mix in a small amount of healthy fats such as avocado slices or a sprinkle of flaxseeds to enhance nutrient absorption and moderate the impact on blood sugar.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before your meal to help with digestion and prevent overeating, which can cause larger glucose spikes.

Monitor Timing

Try to consume Poha as part of a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach to reduce the spike in glucose levels.

Choose Whole Grains

Whenever possible, opt for a version of Poha that includes whole grains or combine it with whole grains to add more fiber.

Engage in Light Physical Activity

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

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully to allow your body to register fullness and prevent overeating, which can contribute to spikes in glucose.

Regular Monitoring

Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after meals to understand how your body responds to Poha and adjust your diet accordingly.
