How to consume english indian pongal rice, english indian sweet pongal without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the quantity of pongal rice and sweet pongal you consume in one sitting. Smaller portions can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Add Fiber

Incorporate high-fiber foods such as vegetables or legumes into your meal. This can slow down the absorption of sugars.

Include Protein

Pair your pongal with a source of lean protein like grilled chicken, tofu, or lentils to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats such as a handful of nuts, seeds, or a little avocado to your meal to slow glucose absorption.

Substitute Ingredients

Use whole grains or quinoa instead of white rice in your pongal to reduce the impact on your blood sugar.

Timing of Meals

Consume pongal during the day rather than late at night, as your body's ability to manage blood sugar may decrease in the evening.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity after meals, like a 15-20 minute walk, to help lower blood sugar levels.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water throughout the day, which can help with glucose management.

Herbal Options

Consider adding cinnamon or fenugreek to your pongal recipes, as these spices may support blood sugar control.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of how your body responds to pongal and make adjustments as needed. Consider having a small salad or soup before your main meal to help curb spikes.
