How to consume Poha | Poha without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the serving size of Poha to manage the carbohydrate intake and prevent a large glucose spike.

Incorporate Protein

Add a source of protein like boiled eggs, paneer, or tofu to your Poha. This can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Add Healthy Fats

Include a small amount of nuts like almonds or seeds such as flaxseeds or chia seeds to your dish. Healthy fats can help in moderating blood sugar levels.

Include Vegetables

Mix in non-starchy vegetables like spinach, capsicum, or tomatoes to add fiber, which can help in slowing down the digestion process.

Use Less Sugar

If you add sugar to your Poha, try to reduce or eliminate it altogether to decrease the overall carbohydrate content.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and after your meal to help with digestion and help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Walk After Meals

Engage in a light walk or gentle exercise after eating to help your body use up glucose more efficiently.

Add Lemon

Squeeze some lemon juice over your Poha. The acidity can help moderate the rise in blood sugar.

Choose Whole Grains

If possible, opt for a version of Poha made from whole grains to increase fiber content.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of how your body reacts to different ingredients and adjust your recipe accordingly to maintain stable glucose levels.
