How to consume Homemade - Idly without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Reduce the number of idlies you consume in one sitting to minimize the glucose response.
Protein Pairing
Incorporate a protein source such as paneer, tofu, or a small portion of lean chicken alongside your meal to help moderate blood sugar levels.
Increase Fiber Intake
Add a side of high-fiber vegetables like spinach, kale, or broccoli to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Healthy Fats
Include a small serving of healthy fats, such as avocado or a handful of nuts, to help stabilize glucose levels.
Hydration
Drink water before and after your meal to support digestion and help manage blood sugar spikes.
Fermented Dips
Serve your idlies with a side of yogurt-based chutney or other fermented dips to introduce beneficial bacteria that aid in digestion.
Pre-Meal Exercise
Engage in light physical activity, such as a brisk walk, for 10-15 minutes before your meal to improve insulin sensitivity.
Mindful Eating
Eat slowly and mindfully to give your body time to digest and better manage glucose levels.
Spice It Up
Incorporate spices like cinnamon or fenugreek in your meal preparation, as they may have blood sugar-lowering properties.
Monitor and Adjust
Keep track of how your body responds to different variations of the meal and make adjustments as needed to find what works best for you.
