How to consume Barley Soup without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the serving size of the barley soup to help manage the glucose spike.

Protein Addition

Include a source of lean protein, such as grilled chicken or tofu, to your meal. This can help slow down the absorption of glucose.

Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats, like avocado or a sprinkle of nuts, which can aid in moderating blood sugar levels.

Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Incorporate non-starchy vegetables like spinach, kale, or broccoli into your meal. These can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Vinegar or Lemon Juice

Add a splash of vinegar or lemon juice to the soup or have a side salad dressed with vinegar. This can help in reducing blood sugar spikes.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before your meal, which may help slow digestion and absorption.

Timing of Consumption

Avoid eating the soup on an empty stomach. Consider having a small, balanced snack like a handful of almonds beforehand.

Physical Activity

Take a short walk or engage in some light physical activity after your meal to help your body use up the glucose more efficiently.

Mindful Eating

Slow down and chew your food thoroughly. This can enhance digestion and prevent overconsumption.

Stress Management

Practice stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing or meditation, as stress can affect blood sugar levels.
