How to consume valencias california oranges without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Combine the oranges with a source of protein or healthy fats like a handful of almonds, Greek yogurt, or a slice of cheese. This can slow down the absorption of sugar.

Increase Fiber Intake

Add foods rich in fiber to your meal, such as chia seeds, flaxseeds, or a small serving of oats. Fiber helps to moderate blood sugar spikes.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before or after eating to help regulate blood sugar levels. Staying hydrated supports the body's ability to manage glucose.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, like a walk, after eating. This can help your muscles use glucose more effectively, reducing blood sugar levels.

Portion Control

Instead of consuming multiple oranges at once, limit your portion to one or two, and savor them slowly to reduce the impact on blood sugar.

Include Leafy Greens

Add a side salad with greens like spinach or kale when consuming oranges to help balance blood sugar levels.

Monitor Carbohydrate Intake

Balance your meal by keeping track of other carbohydrates consumed, ensuring they are spread evenly throughout the day.

Choose Whole Fruits

Instead of orange juice, which is more concentrated in sugars, eat whole oranges. The fiber in whole fruits helps to moderate sugar release.

Eat at Regular Intervals

Maintain a consistent eating schedule to prevent large fluctuations in blood sugar, making it easier to manage spikes.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of your blood sugar levels after trying these strategies to see what works best for you, and adjust as necessary.
