How to consume Tangerine without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Consume tangerines with a source of protein or healthy fats, such as a handful of almonds or a piece of cheese, to slow down the absorption of sugars.

Portion Control

Limit your portion size by eating just one tangerine or split the serving throughout the day to avoid a significant spike in glucose levels.

Eat Whole Fruits

Opt for whole tangerines instead of juices, as the fiber in whole fruits helps moderate blood sugar levels.

Include Fiber-Rich Foods

Add a side of vegetables like carrots or a small salad with your meal to increase fiber intake, promoting a gradual release of sugars.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and after eating tangerines to help your body process sugars more effectively.

Exercise After Eating

Engage in light physical activity, such as walking, after consuming tangerines to help your body use the increased glucose for energy.

Monitor Timing

Eat tangerines as part of a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach to reduce the risk of a rapid glucose spike.

Choose Complex Carbohydrates

Incorporate complex carbohydrates like quinoa or barley in your meal, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Chew slowly and savor your tangerines to give your body more time to process the sugars gradually.

Track Responses

Keep a food diary to observe how your body responds to tangerines and adjust your intake or pairing strategies accordingly.
