How to consume english pulav, english raita without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the serving size of both English pulav and English raita. Smaller portions can lead to smaller glucose spikes.

Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Add fibrous vegetables like broccoli, spinach, and bell peppers to your pulav. Fiber slows down the absorption of glucose.

Whole Grains

Substitute part or all of the white rice in the pulav with brown rice or quinoa, which are less likely to cause spikes.

Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats such as avocado or a small amount of olive oil in your meal. Fats can slow digestion and glucose absorption.

Protein Addition

Add a source of lean protein like grilled chicken, tofu, or legumes to your pulav. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Low-Sugar Ingredients

Ensure that the raita is made with unsweetened yogurt and avoid adding sugar. Consider adding cucumber or mint for flavor instead of sugary ingredients.

Pre-Meal Salad

Eat a salad with leafy greens, tomatoes, and cucumbers before your main meal. The fiber in the salad can help mitigate glucose spikes.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water before and during the meal. Hydration helps in better digestion and can moderate glucose levels.

Herbs and Spices

Use herbs and spices like cinnamon, turmeric, and fenugreek in your pulav. Some spices can have a moderating effect on glucose levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly. This gives your body more time to regulate glucose levels effectively.
