How to consume Rice Idli, Sambar without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the number of idlis you consume in one sitting. Smaller portions can help minimize the impact on your blood sugar levels.

Add Protein

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

Include Fiber

Add fibrous vegetables to your sambar or have a small salad on the side. Foods like spinach, carrots, and cucumbers can be good choices.

Choose Brown Rice Idli

Opt for idlis made from brown rice or mix the batter with lentils to increase the fiber content.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a tablespoon of coconut oil or a few slices of avocado to your meal to help manage blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water throughout the meal as it helps in digestion and may aid in stabilizing blood sugar levels.

Pre-meal Exercise

Engage in a light walk or some form of physical activity before your meal to help improve insulin sensitivity.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly. This can contribute to better digestion and less dramatic spikes in blood sugar.

Monitor Timing

Try having your idli and sambar as part of a balanced meal, and avoid consuming them in isolation as a snack.

Regular Monitoring

Keep track of your blood sugar levels regularly to understand how your body responds and adjust your diet accordingly.
