How to consume Espresso Coffee, Poha without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the serving size of poha to control the carbohydrate intake and lessen the impact on blood glucose levels.

Add Protein

Incorporate a source of protein with your meal, such as a boiled egg or a small portion of paneer, to help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats, like a few nuts (almonds or walnuts) or a teaspoon of olive oil, to your poha to further moderate blood sugar spikes.

Opt for Whole Grains

If possible, prepare poha using brown or red rice flakes, which are less processed and may have a slower effect on blood sugar.

Increase Fiber

Incorporate vegetables like peas, spinach, or grated carrots into your poha to boost fiber content and slow down glucose absorption.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day to support overall metabolic processes and help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Exercise Moderately

Engage in light physical activity, such as walking, after your meal to help utilize the glucose in your bloodstream.

Avoid Added Sugars

Ensure that your espresso coffee is free from added sugars or sweeteners that can contribute to glucose spikes.

Mind Your Snacking

If you need a snack later, choose options like an apple, berries, or a handful of seeds, which can have a more stable impact on blood sugar.

Monitor Caffeine Intake

Be mindful of the amount of espresso coffee you consume, as excessive caffeine can sometimes affect insulin sensitivity in some individuals.
