How to consume basmati rice (dry), mixed vegetables (corn, lima beans, peas, green beans, carrots) (no salt added, canned) without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the serving size of basmati rice and mix it with a larger portion of non-starchy vegetables to balance the meal.

Protein Addition

Incorporate a lean protein source, such as grilled chicken, tofu, or lentils, to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats like avocado slices, nuts, or a drizzle of olive oil to your meal to help moderate blood sugar levels.

Pre-Meal Exercise

Engage in a short walk or mild physical activity before eating to improve insulin sensitivity.

Fiber Boost

Increase the fiber content by adding a side salad with leafy greens like spinach or kale.

Vinegar Dressing

Use a vinegar-based dressing (such as balsamic vinegar) on your salad or vegetables, which can help lower post-meal blood sugar spikes.

Timing and Spacing

Eat smaller, more frequent meals rather than large portions to prevent sharp spikes in glucose levels.

Slow Cooking Method

Cook rice using a method that retains more fiber and nutrients, such as steaming or pressure cooking, to lower the impact on blood sugar.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to aid digestion and give your body time to respond to the food intake.

Herb and Spice Enhancement

Add cinnamon or turmeric to your meal, as they can help improve blood sugar regulation.
