How to consume english pulav, english raita without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the English pulav and raita you consume to help minimize the spike in glucose levels.

Add Protein

Incorporate a source of protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or a boiled egg. Protein can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates, leading to a more gradual increase in blood sugar.

Include Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats like avocado slices or a small handful of nuts (e.g., almonds or walnuts) to your meal. These can help slow digestion and stabilize blood sugar levels.

Increase Fiber

Include a side of non-starchy vegetables, such as broccoli, spinach, or a mixed green salad. These fiber-rich foods can help mitigate the rise in blood sugar.

Opt for Whole Grains

If possible, use brown rice or quinoa in place of white rice for your pulav. Whole grains are absorbed more slowly, helping to prevent spikes.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to help with digestion and prevent overeating, which can contribute to spikes.

Add Vinegar or Lemon Juice

Incorporate vinegar or lemon juice in your raita or as a dressing for your salad. The acidity can help slow the breakdown of carbohydrates into sugar.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to give your body time to process the food, which can help in reducing glucose spikes.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a walk, after your meal. Physical activity can help lower blood sugar levels.

Consistent Meal Timing

Try to eat your meals at regular intervals to maintain steady blood sugar levels throughout the day.
