How to consume Poha, Tea With Milk without glucose spikes

Incorporate Protein

Add a source of protein to your meal, such as a handful of nuts or a boiled egg, to slow down the absorption of sugars.

Add Vegetables

Include non-starchy vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or cucumbers alongside your meal for added fiber.

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the poha and tea, ensuring you’re consuming moderate quantities to prevent a large glucose spike.

Choose Whole Grains

If possible, use brown rice flakes for making poha instead of the regular version to add more fiber.

Drink Green Tea

Replace tea with milk with green tea or herbal tea, which doesn’t have the added sugars and fats from milk.

Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats like avocado slices, flaxseeds, or chia seeds to your meal; they can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before your meal. Proper hydration helps in regulating blood sugar levels.

Walk After Meals

Engage in light physical activity, such as a brisk walk, after eating to help your body utilize the glucose more effectively.

Monitor Timing

Eat your meal at regular intervals and avoid long gaps between meals to maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Chew your food slowly and focus on your meal to prevent overeating and ensure better digestion.
