How to consume Poha and chai without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of Poha and chai. Smaller portions can help manage the glucose response.

Include Protein

Add a source of protein such as boiled eggs, paneer (cottage cheese), or a handful of nuts to your meal. Protein can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats like avocado slices or a spoonful of seeds (chia, flax, or pumpkin) to your Poha. Fats can help in stabilizing blood sugar levels.

Add Fiber

Enhance your Poha with fibrous vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or bell peppers. Fiber helps in slowing down digestion and the release of sugar into the bloodstream.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and after your meal. Staying hydrated can support overall metabolic processes.

Use Whole Grains

If possible, make your Poha with whole grains or a mix of grains that have a slower digestion rate.

Pair with a Salad

Eating a small salad with leafy greens, cucumbers, and tomatoes before your main meal can help in moderating glucose spikes.

Limit Sugar in Chai

Reduce the amount of sugar in your chai, or use a natural sweetener with no or minimal impact on blood sugar.

Opt for Black or Green Tea

Try having black or green tea instead of regular chai, as they have less impact on blood sugar levels.

Regular Exercise

Engage in a short walk or light physical activity after meals to aid in glucose metabolism.
