How to consume Barley without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Consume smaller portions of barley to moderate the glucose spike.

Fiber-Rich Foods

Pair barley with high-fiber foods such as lentils, chickpeas, or leafy greens to slow down glucose absorption.

Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or olive oil in your meal to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Protein Addition

Add a source of protein, such as grilled chicken, tofu, or beans, to your barley dishes to balance your blood sugar response.

Vegetable Inclusion

Incorporate non-starchy vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or zucchini alongside barley to provide additional nutrients and fiber.

Vinegar Dressing

Use a vinegar-based dressing on salads or barley dishes, which can help mitigate a rise in glucose levels.

Meal Timing

Consider eating barley as part of a balanced meal rather than on its own to reduce glucose spikes.

Chew Thoroughly

Take your time to chew barley thoroughly, which can aid in digestion and slower glucose release.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water with your meal to support digestion and reduce the concentration of glucose in your bloodstream.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk after meals, to help your body utilize glucose effectively.
