How to consume Poha, Upma without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the serving size of Poha and Upma you consume. Smaller portions can lead to a slower release of glucose into the bloodstream.

Add Protein

Incorporate a source of protein, such as a boiled egg, Greek yogurt, or a small serving of cottage cheese, alongside your meal to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats, like a few slices of avocado or a sprinkle of nuts and seeds, to your meal to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include More Vegetables

Mix in low-carb vegetables such as spinach, bell peppers, or tomatoes to increase fiber content and reduce the relative carbohydrate load.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during the meal to help with digestion and potentially moderate glucose spikes.

Opt for Whole Grains

If possible, use whole grain or less processed versions of the ingredients in Poha and Upma to slow down glucose absorption.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly, as this can enhance digestion and help manage blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a walk, after your meal to help your body use up the glucose more effectively.

Add Some Fiber

Integrate fiber-rich foods such as chia seeds or flax seeds into your meal to aid in slowing the glucose release.

Monitor Timing

Consider eating your meal earlier in the day when your body may be better equipped to handle carbohydrate intake.
