How to consume coconut chutney, english medu vada, idli, sambar without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the coconut chutney and opt for smaller servings of medu vada. Smaller quantities can help manage blood sugar levels better.

Protein Addition

Include a source of lean protein with your meal, such as grilled chicken, tofu, or paneer. Protein can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates, leading to a more gradual increase in blood sugar levels.

Fiber-Rich Foods

Incorporate more fiber into your meal by adding a side of vegetables like spinach or kale. Fiber can help slow digestion and the absorption of sugar, keeping your blood sugar levels more stable.

Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats like a small portion of avocado or a handful of nuts (almonds or walnuts) to your meal. These fats can help slow down digestion and stabilize blood sugar.

Timing and Spacing

Eat your meal slowly and take breaks between servings. This gives your body time to process foods and can lead to a lower spike in blood glucose levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated can help with digestion and regulate blood sugar spikes.

Physical Activity

Go for a short walk or engage in light exercise after your meal. Physical activity can help your body use up glucose more efficiently and reduce the spike.

Alternative Ingredients

Consider using whole grain or millets for making idli and vada instead of refined rice or flour. This switch can help in slower digestion and absorption.

Balanced Meal

Ensure your meal is balanced with a combination of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and fiber. This balance can help moderate any potential spikes in glucose levels.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of your blood sugar levels after consuming these foods and adjust quantities or combinations as needed to see what works best for you.
