How to consume chai, paratha without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the paratha to limit carbohydrate intake, which can help in managing blood sugar levels.

Whole Grain Options

Opt for whole wheat or multigrain parathas instead of those made from refined flour, as they have a slower impact on blood sugar.

Increase Fiber Intake

Add fiber-rich vegetables like spinach or fenugreek leaves to the paratha dough to slow down digestion and glucose absorption.

Protein Addition

Pair your meal with a source of protein, such as yogurt or paneer, to help balance blood sugar levels.

Healthy Fats

Use healthy fats like olive oil or ghee in moderation when cooking parathas, as fats can help slow the digestion process.

Spice Balance

If making chai, use spices like cinnamon and ginger, which may help in managing blood sugar levels.

Sugar Substitutes

Consider using natural sweeteners like stevia in your chai to reduce sugar intake.

Meal Timing

Consume your chai and paratha as part of a balanced meal rather than on their own, to minimize glucose spikes.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as walking, after meals to help utilize glucose more efficiently.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water throughout the day, which can aid in digestion and help in regulating blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully to give your body time to process and respond to the food intake effectively.
