How to consume bananas, tangerines (mandarin oranges) without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats
Eating bananas or tangerines with a source of protein or healthy fats can help slow down the absorption of sugars. Consider pairing them with a handful of almonds, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or a small piece of cheese.
Choose Smaller Portions
Opt for smaller bananas and limit yourself to a single tangerine. Controlling portion size can help manage the overall sugar intake in a single eating session.
Add Fiber-Rich Foods
Incorporate a source of fiber when consuming these fruits. Foods like oats, chia seeds, or vegetables such as carrots and celery can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Consume During an Active Part of the Day
Eating these fruits when you are more active, such as before or after exercise, can help your body use the sugar more efficiently and reduce spikes.
Stay Hydrated
Drinking water can help manage blood sugar levels and improve digestion. Try having a glass of water before consuming these fruits.
Opt for Unripe Bananas
Unripe bananas contain more resistant starch, which takes longer to digest, potentially minimizing a fast rise in blood sugar.
Spread Out Your Fruit Intake
Instead of consuming bananas and tangerines at the same time, spread out your fruit intake throughout the day to avoid a cumulative effect on your blood sugar.
Incorporate Apple Cider Vinegar
Consider taking a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar diluted in a glass of water before meals. Some studies suggest it may help improve insulin sensitivity.
Practice Mindful Eating
Eat slowly and pay attention to your hunger cues. Mindful eating can help you enjoy your food more and prevent overeating.
Monitor Your Response
Keep a food journal and track your body's response to eating bananas and tangerines. This can help you identify patterns and make necessary adjustments.
