How to consume Poha, Tea With Milk without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of Poha and tea to minimize the overall intake of carbohydrates.

Add Protein

Include a side of protein-rich foods like boiled eggs, Greek yogurt, or a handful of nuts to help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate Vegetables

Mix in non-starchy vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or grated carrots into your Poha for added fiber and nutrients.

Choose Whole Grains

Opt for brown or red poha instead of white to increase fiber content and reduce the rate of glucose absorption.

Use Cinnamon

Add a pinch of cinnamon to your tea or Poha. Cinnamon may help in moderating blood sugar levels.

Hydration

Drink a glass of water before your meal to help with digestion and managing hunger, which may help in controlling your portion sizes.

Limit Sugar

Avoid adding sugar to your tea or use a natural sweetener like stevia to reduce sugar intake.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully to give your body time to process the food and recognize fullness cues, which can prevent overeating.

Regular Monitoring

Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after meals to understand how different foods affect your glucose levels and adjust accordingly.

Physical Activity

Engage in a light walk or gentle exercise after eating to help facilitate glucose uptake by your muscles and reduce spikes in blood sugar.
