How to consume Poha | Poha without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Reduce the portion size of Poha to mitigate the rapid increase in blood sugar levels.
Add Protein and Healthy Fats
Incorporate protein-rich foods like boiled eggs or paneer and healthy fats such as nuts or seeds to your Poha meal. These help slow the absorption of carbohydrates.
Incorporate Vegetables
Add low-carb vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers to increase fiber content, which can help steady blood sugar levels.
Use Lemon Juice
Squeeze fresh lemon juice onto your Poha. The acidity can assist in slowing carbohydrate absorption.
Pair with High-Fiber Foods
Have a small serving of lentils or chickpeas alongside your meal, as their fiber content supports balanced blood sugar.
Stay Hydrated
Drink water before and after your meal, as proper hydration can aid in metabolic processes and glucose regulation.
Mindful Eating
Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to help your body process the carbohydrates more gradually.
Pre-Meal Physical Activity
Engage in light physical activity, like a brief walk, before your meal to improve insulin sensitivity.
Herbal Additions
Consider adding herbs like cinnamon or fenugreek to your Poha, which can have a beneficial effect on blood sugar.
Monitor Blood Sugar
Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after meals to better understand how your body reacts and adjust accordingly.
