How to consume Upma | Upma without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of Upma. Smaller portions can help in managing blood sugar levels more effectively.

Add Protein

Incorporate sources of protein such as boiled eggs, grilled chicken, or cottage cheese alongside your Upma meal. Protein helps slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats like avocado slices, a handful of nuts, or a little olive oil in your meal. Fats can help moderate glucose spikes by slowing digestion.

Increase Fiber Content

Add vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or peas to your Upma. Fiber helps in slowing down the digestion process and stabilizing blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and after meals. Staying hydrated can assist in maintaining stable blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Take a short walk or engage in light physical activity after your meal to help your body use up some of the glucose.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to chew each bite thoroughly. Eating slowly helps in better digestion and can prevent overconsumption.

Monitor Meal Timing

Be consistent with meal times. Regular meal schedules help keep blood sugar levels more balanced throughout the day.

Whole Grains Alternative

If possible, use whole grain or fiber-enriched semolina for making Upma. Whole grains have a more gradual impact on blood sugar levels.

Limit Refined Sugar

Avoid adding refined sugars or sweeteners to your Upma. If needed, use natural alternatives sparingly, like a small amount of fruit.
