How to consume Bananas, Idli without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Include a source of lean protein, such as a boiled egg or a small portion of grilled chicken, when consuming bananas or idli to help slow down the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream.

Add Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats like a small serving of almonds, walnuts, or avocado with your meal. These fats can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Increase Fiber Intake

Incorporate high-fiber foods such as lentils, chickpeas, or a small portion of leafy greens. Fiber helps to slow digestion and the release of sugar into the bloodstream.

Control Portion Size

Reduce the portion size of bananas or idli to limit the amount of carbohydrates consumed at once.

Choose Whole Grains

If possible, opt for idli made from whole grains or add a small serving of quinoa or oats to your meal to enhance its nutritional profile.

Stay Active Post-Meal

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating to help your body utilize the sugar more effectively.

Monitor Meal Timing

Spread out the consumption of bananas or idli throughout the day rather than consuming them all at once.

Hydrate

Drink plenty of water before and after your meals to aid in digestion and help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Include Vinegar

Add a splash of vinegar to your meal or have a small vinegar-based salad dressing to potentially enhance insulin sensitivity.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and focus on chewing your food thoroughly to help your body better manage glucose absorption.
