How to consume english indian pongal rice, english medu vada without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of pongal rice and medu vada to manage your blood sugar levels more effectively.

Include Fiber-Rich Foods

Add a side of leafy greens like spinach or kale, or legumes such as lentils or chickpeas to your meal. These can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Add Protein

Incorporate a source of protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or paneer to your meal. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats like avocado slices, nuts, or seeds. These can help slow digestion and prevent sharp spikes.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water before and after meals to help your body process the food more efficiently.

Physical Activity

Take a short walk after eating to help lower your blood glucose levels by promoting insulin sensitivity.

Balanced Meal Timing

Eat smaller, more frequent meals rather than large ones to maintain steadier glucose levels throughout the day.

Monitor Ingredients

If preparing the meal at home, consider using brown rice instead of white rice for pongal and whole wheat flour instead of refined flour in medu vada.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to aid digestion and give your body time to signal when it's full, preventing overeating.

Stay Consistent

Maintain consistency in your meal and snack times to help regulate your body's glucose response.
