How to consume english kala chana, poha without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of both kala chana and poha to minimize the glucose response. Smaller portions result in a slower release of glucose into the bloodstream.

Increase Fiber Intake

Add more fibrous vegetables such as spinach, kale, or broccoli to your meal. Fiber helps slow down the absorption of carbohydrates, leading to a more gradual increase in blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Protein

Include a protein source like tofu, paneer, or lentils to your meal. Proteins can help stabilize blood sugar levels and reduce the overall glucose spike.

Include Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats such as avocado, nuts, or seeds. These can help slow digestion and prevent rapid spikes in glucose.

Pre-Meal Hydration

Drink a glass of water 30 minutes before your meal. This can aid digestion and moderate the rate at which glucose enters the bloodstream.

Opt for Whole Grains

Consider using whole grain versions of poha, which contain more fiber and nutrients that can help in reducing glucose spikes.

Add Vinegar or Lemon

Incorporate vinegar or a squeeze of lemon juice in your meal. The acidity can help lower the blood sugar response.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after meals to help muscles utilize glucose more efficiently.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly. This practice can aid in digestion and may help prevent overeating, which can contribute to glucose spikes.

Regular Monitoring

Keep track of your blood sugar levels to understand how your body responds and adjust your diet accordingly.
