Start by reducing the amount of popcorn you consume in one sitting. Smaller portions can help mitigate the glucose spike.

Combine popcorn with a source of protein, such as a handful of nuts or a piece of cheese. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Include a small serving of healthy fats, such as avocado slices or a few olives, alongside your popcorn to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Opt for air-popped popcorn, which is higher in fiber compared to the microwave or oil-popped varieties. Fiber can help moderate blood sugar spikes.

Snack on a small serving of raw vegetables like cucumber or bell pepper alongside popcorn to add fiber and nutrients.

Drink water before and after consuming popcorn to help your body process the carbohydrates more efficiently.

Pair your popcorn with a small serving of low-sugar fruit, such as berries or an apple slice, to add fiber and vitamins.

Consider consuming popcorn earlier in the day when your body might be better equipped to handle a glucose spike, rather than late at night.

Eat slowly and mindfully to give your body time to process the food, which can help prevent a sharp glucose rise.

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after eating popcorn to help your body use up some of the glucose.

Ultrahuman M1 helps you measure the impact of food and activity on your body in real time through glucose as a biomarker.
