How to consume chai, kanda poha without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of chai and kanda poha to help manage the glucose spike. Consuming smaller amounts can help keep blood sugar levels more stable.

Add Protein

Incorporate a source of protein such as a boiled egg, paneer, or Greek yogurt. Protein can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates and help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Include Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats to your meal, such as a handful of nuts or seeds (like almonds or flaxseeds). These can help to slow the digestion process and mitigate a spike in glucose.

Increase Fiber

Include a serving of high-fiber vegetables like spinach or broccoli with your meal. Fiber can help slow the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates, leading to a more gradual rise in blood sugar.

Choose Whole Grains

If possible, prepare the poha with brown rice flakes instead of white rice flakes, as they are more slowly digested.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and after your meal. Adequate hydration can aid in the digestion process and help regulate blood sugar levels.

Add Vinegar

Consider adding a splash of vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar, to your meal. This can help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce the blood sugar spike.

Monitor Chai Ingredients

Opt for a chai made with unsweetened almond or coconut milk and reduce the amount of sugar added.

Plan Balanced Meals

Ensure all your meals are well-balanced throughout the day, incorporating carbohydrates, proteins, and fats in appropriate proportions.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a brisk walk, after eating. This can help lower blood sugar levels by increasing insulin sensitivity and encouraging glucose uptake by muscles.
