How to consume Espresso Coffee, Poha without glucose spikes

Add Protein and Healthy Fats

Incorporate a source of protein and healthy fat with your meal. Consider adding a handful of nuts or seeds, such as almonds or chia seeds, to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Opt for a Smaller Portion

Reduce the portion size of poha to limit the carbohydrate intake, and therefore, the glucose spike.

Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Add fiber-rich vegetables to your poha, such as spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers, which can slow down the absorption of sugars into your bloodstream.

Drink Water Before Eating

Have a glass of water before your meal. This can help slow down the digestion process and prevent rapid glucose absorption.

Choose Whole-Grain Poha

If available, opt for whole-grain or brown poha, which have a slower release of glucose compared to the regular version.

Include Fermented Foods

Adding a small portion of fermented foods like yogurt or kefir can improve gut health and moderate blood sugar levels.

Avoid Sugary Additions

Skip adding any sweeteners or sugary accompaniments to your espresso or poha.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat your meal slowly. This helps regulate the release of glucose and provides a more gradual increase in blood sugar levels.

Exercise Post-Meal

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after your meal. Physical activity can help lower blood glucose levels.

Monitor Your Caffeine Intake

Consider reducing the amount of espresso you consume or opt for a lower-caffeine option to prevent a sharp rise in blood sugar.
