How to consume Qunioa - Whole Grain without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Start by reducing the portion size of quinoa you consume in one serving. Smaller portions naturally result in a smaller glucose response.
Pair with Protein
Include a good source of protein in your meal, such as chicken, tofu, or eggs. Protein can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Add Healthy Fats
Incorporate healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or olive oil into your meal. Fats can help moderate glucose spikes by slowing digestion.
Include Fiber-Rich Foods
Combine quinoa with high-fiber vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or bell peppers. Fiber can help stabilize glucose levels by slowing the digestion process.
Eat Whole Grains
If you want to mix grains, consider adding barley or buckwheat, which are typically digested more slowly.
Stay Hydrated
Drink water throughout your meal, as staying hydrated can aid in digestion and help maintain stable glucose levels.
Chew Thoroughly
Take your time to chew your food properly. This can promote better digestion and slower absorption of carbohydrates.
Consume Vinegar
Including a small amount of vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar, in your meal or as a dressing may help reduce the rise in glucose levels after eating.
Physical Activity
Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after meals to help your body utilize the glucose more efficiently.
Monitor Timing
Try to eat quinoa earlier in the day when your body is more efficient at processing carbohydrates, rather than in the evening.
