How to consume english indian rava idli, sambar without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the number of idlis to a moderate serving size. Smaller portions can help manage glucose levels better.

Add Fiber

Incorporate a side of raw or lightly steamed vegetables such as spinach, carrots, or cucumbers. The fiber content can slow down the absorption of sugar.

Protein Addition

Include a source of protein such as a small serving of paneer, a boiled egg, or a few nuts like almonds or walnuts. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Healthy Fats

Add a small serving of healthy fats, such as a spoonful of coconut chutney made with minimal sugar, or a few slices of avocado. Healthy fats can slow down the release of glucose into the bloodstream.

Avoid Sugary Enhancements

Skip any additional sugary items that are often paired with idli, such as sweetened chutneys or desserts.

Chew Thoroughly

Chew your food well and eat slowly. This can aid digestion and help your body manage glucose levels more effectively.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout your meal. Good hydration can aid digestion and help maintain stable glucose levels.

Timing of Meals

Ensure you are not eating large meals late at night. Try to consume your idli and sambar during the day when your body is more active.

Balanced Meal

Combine your idli and sambar with a small salad containing leafy greens and a light vinaigrette. This creates a more balanced meal that can help in maintaining stable glucose levels.

Physical Activity

Take a short walk of about 10-15 minutes after eating. Light exercise can help facilitate glucose uptake by the muscles.
