How to consume Bananas, Oatmeal without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Include a source of protein or healthy fats with your meal, such as nuts, seeds, yogurt, or a hard-boiled egg. This can help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Choose Whole Grains or Steel-Cut Oats

Opt for whole grain or steel-cut oatmeal instead of instant or quick-cooking oats. These have a slower digestion rate.

Add Cinnamon

Sprinkle cinnamon on your oatmeal or bananas. Some studies suggest cinnamon may help in moderating blood sugar levels.

Include Fiber-Rich Foods

Add fiber-rich toppings like chia seeds, flaxseeds, or berries to your oatmeal. Fiber can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Consume Smaller Portions

Reduce the portion size of bananas and oatmeal. Smaller portions lead to a smaller spike in blood sugar.

Balance Your Meal with Vegetables

Incorporate non-starchy vegetables into your meal. Vegetables like spinach, kale, or broccoli add bulk and nutrients without affecting blood sugar as significantly.

Drink Water

Make sure to stay hydrated by drinking water with your meal, as it can aid in digestion and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to chew your food thoroughly and eat slowly. This gives your body more time to process the sugars gradually.

Exercise Regularly

Incorporate physical activity into your routine. Regular exercise can improve insulin sensitivity and help manage blood sugar spikes.

Monitor Your Blood Sugar Levels

If possible, use a continuous glucose monitor or regularly check your blood sugar levels to understand how different foods affect you personally, and adjust your diet accordingly.
