How to consume english medu vada, idli without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Consume smaller portions of medu vada and idli to limit the amount of carbohydrates ingested at one time.

Add Fiber

Incorporate high-fiber foods like vegetables or a leafy greens salad alongside your meal to slow down glucose absorption.

Include Protein

Pair the meal with a protein source like boiled eggs, paneer, or grilled chicken to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats such as nuts, seeds, or avocado to your meal, which can moderate the rise in blood sugar.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal, which can help in digestion and potentially reduce glucose spikes.

Monitor Timing

Consider having medu vada and idli earlier in the day when your body might handle glucose better due to higher activity levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light exercise, such as a brisk walk, after your meal to help manage blood sugar levels.

Choose Whole Grains

When available, opt for whole grain alternatives or variations of idli which might be made with millets or other less processed grains.

Yogurt Addition

Consume plain yogurt with your meal as it can have a positive effect on blood sugar control.

Speed of Eating

Eat slowly to allow your body more time to process the food and gradually increase blood sugar levels.
