How to consume Poha without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of Poha. Consuming a smaller quantity can help prevent a large spike in glucose levels.

Add Protein

Incorporate a source of protein such as boiled eggs or a small serving of cottage cheese. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels by slowing down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a handful of nuts like almonds or peanuts to your Poha. Healthy fats can aid in moderating blood sugar spikes.

Increase Fiber

Add more vegetables like peas, spinach, or grated carrots to your Poha. Fiber-rich foods can help slow digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.

Stay Hydrated

Make sure to drink enough water throughout the day. Adequate hydration can improve your body's ability to regulate blood sugar levels.

Exercise Regularly

Incorporate a short walk or light exercise after meals. Physical activity helps your body use glucose more effectively.

Chew Slowly

Eating slowly and chewing thoroughly can aid digestion and lead to better blood sugar control.

Monitor Carbohydrate Intake

Keep an eye on other carbohydrate-rich foods you consume throughout the day to maintain a balanced intake.

Meal Timing

Try to eat Poha as part of a balanced breakfast and avoid having high-carb foods in the same meal.

Include Vinegar

Add a splash of lemon juice or vinegar to your Poha. These acidic foods can help regulate blood sugar levels after a meal.
