How to consume english quinoa salad, salmon without glucose spikes

Pair with Fiber-Rich Foods

Include more high-fiber vegetables in your meal, such as spinach, kale, or broccoli, to slow down the absorption of glucose.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a source of healthy fats like avocados or a drizzle of olive oil. These can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Choose Whole Grains

If you're including grains in your salad, opt for whole grains such as barley or bulgur, which have a slower impact on blood sugar.

Add Legumes

Incorporate some chickpeas or lentils into your salad. They are excellent sources of protein and fiber.

Portion Control

Be mindful of the portion size of quinoa in your salad. You can reduce the quinoa and increase the vegetables to balance the meal.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to aid digestion and potentially slow down glucose absorption.

Include Nuts or Seeds

Adding a handful of almonds or chia seeds can provide additional fiber and healthy fats.

Eat Slowly and Mindfully

Take your time to chew and savor each bite, which can help in better digestion and slower glucose release.

Consider a Salad Dressing with Vinegar

Use a dressing with vinegar, as it may help in moderating blood sugar spikes.

Monitor Timing

Try to eat your meal at consistent times daily to help regulate your body's insulin response.
