How to consume english dal, japanese red rice without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of English dal and Japanese red rice to prevent a significant glucose spike.

Balanced Meals

Pair the dal and rice with high-fiber vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or bell peppers to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Protein Addition

Include a source of protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or lentils. Protein helps stabilize blood sugar levels.

Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or seeds to your meal. These can help reduce the rate of carbohydrate absorption.

Vinegar Dressing

Use a vinegar-based dressing for your vegetables, as vinegar can help lower blood sugar spikes.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to aid digestion and better regulate blood sugar levels.

Pre-Meal Exercise

Engage in light exercise, such as a 10-15 minute walk before meals, to enhance insulin sensitivity.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to help control spikes in blood sugar.

Eat Non-Starchy Vegetables First

Consuming non-starchy vegetables before the dal and rice can help in moderating the blood sugar response.

Monitor Timing

Consider eating smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day rather than large meals that can cause significant spikes.
