How to consume Poha, Upma without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of Poha and Upma. Eating smaller amounts can help mitigate a large glucose spike.

Protein Addition

Include a source of protein with your meal, such as a boiled egg, paneer, or a handful of nuts. This can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate Fiber

Add vegetables like spinach, peas, or grated carrots to your Poha and Upma, enhancing the fiber content and aiding in gradual digestion.

Healthy Fats

Consider adding a small amount of healthy fats, such as a drizzle of olive oil or a few avocado slices, to your meal for better glucose control.

Serve with a Side

Pair your dish with a low-GI food like a salad made from leafy greens, cucumber, or a small bowl of yogurt.

Timing

Distribute your intake throughout the day rather than having a large portion in one sitting, which can help manage glucose levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal to help with digestion and slow down the absorption rate of carbohydrates.

Chew Thoroughly

Take your time to chew each bite properly, which can aid in digestion and help control spikes in blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after your meal to help your body utilize glucose more effectively.

Herbal Teas

Consider drinking herbal teas such as green tea or cinnamon tea after eating, which may support balanced glucose levels.
