How to consume Poha, Tea without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the serving size of poha and tea you consume at one time. Smaller portions can help moderate the blood sugar response.

Add Protein and Healthy Fats

Include a source of protein or healthy fats with your meal to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates. Consider adding peanuts, boiled eggs, or a small amount of yogurt to your meal.

Increase Fiber Intake

Incorporate more fiber-rich vegetables into your poha, such as peas, carrots, or spinach. This can help slow the digestion process and minimize spikes.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and after your meal to aid digestion and help regulate blood sugar levels.

Choose Low-Sugar Options

Opt for unsweetened tea and avoid adding sugar to minimize the impact on your blood glucose levels.

Incorporate Nuts and Seeds

Add a handful of nuts or seeds like almonds, chia seeds, or flaxseeds to your meal or snack to add more fiber and healthy fats.

Opt for Whole Grains

If possible, choose a poha made from brown or red rice flakes, which digest more slowly than the refined versions.

Monitor Timing

Pay attention to the timing of your meals. Eating smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day can prevent large spikes in blood sugar.

Physical Activity

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

Relaxation and Mindfulness

Practice mindful eating by taking time to enjoy your meal without distractions, which can help in better digestion and blood sugar management.
