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

Portion Control

Consume smaller portions of pongal rice and idli to help manage glucose levels. Smaller servings can reduce the overall carbohydrate intake.

Incorporate Protein

Add a source of protein like boiled eggs, grilled chicken, or legumes to your meal. Protein can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Fiber-Rich Foods

Add vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers to your meal. Fiber helps slow down digestion and can lead to a more gradual rise in blood sugar levels.

Opt for Whole Grains

When possible, choose whole grain options or mix your rice with quinoa or barley to add more fiber and nutrients.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day, as proper hydration can help regulate blood sugar levels.

Exercise Moderately

Engage in light physical activity, such as walking, after meals. This can help your body use glucose more effectively.

Monitor Meal Timing

Try to maintain consistent meal times and avoid skipping meals, which can help maintain steady glucose levels throughout the day.

Add Healthy Fats

Include sources of healthy fats like avocados, nuts, or olive oil in your meal to help slow digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.

Chew Thoroughly

Take your time to chew food properly, which can aid in more controlled digestion and absorption of sugars.

Mindful Eating

Pay attention to your hunger and fullness cues and avoid eating when you're not genuinely hungry to prevent unnecessary spikes.
