How to consume Coconut Water, Upma without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of both coconut water and upma. Eating smaller amounts can help avoid large blood sugar spikes.

Protein Pairing

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

Fiber Boost

Add more fiber to your meal by including vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or a side salad. Fiber can slow down digestion and the release of sugar into the bloodstream.

Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats into your meal, such as by adding a handful of nuts or seeds like almonds or flaxseeds. Healthy fats can help reduce the rate at which sugar is absorbed.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before you eat to help with digestion and prevent overconsumption of coconut water.

Meal Timing

Avoid consuming coconut water and upma on an empty stomach. Eating them as part of a balanced meal can help moderate the impact on blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, like a walk, after eating. Exercise can help your muscles use glucose more efficiently and reduce spikes.

Whole Grains

If making upma, use whole grains like quinoa or broken wheat instead of refined grains. Whole grains release sugar more slowly.

Monitor and Adjust

Track your body's response to different foods and adjust portions or combinations accordingly to find what works best for you.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor your meal. This can help you recognize fullness cues sooner and prevent overeating.
