How to consume Idli without glucose spikes

Incorporate Fiber-Rich Foods

Add a side of vegetables such as spinach or broccoli to your meal. These foods help slow down the absorption of glucose.

Include Protein Sources

Pair your idli with a protein-rich accompaniment like paneer, tofu, or a small serving of eggs to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Add Healthy Fats

Use a small amount of healthy fats such as avocado or a handful of nuts like almonds or walnuts as part of your meal to slow digestion.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help manage blood sugar levels and improve your body's ability to process carbohydrates.

Monitor Portion Sizes

Reduce the number of idlis per serving to help control the carbohydrate intake, thus minimizing glucose spikes.

Engage in Physical Activity

Take a short walk after your meal to help your body use glucose more efficiently.

Consume Vinegar

Include a small amount of vinegar-based dressing with your salad or meal, as it may help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce spikes.

Eat Slowly and Mindfully

Chew your food thoroughly and take your time during meals to enhance digestion and improve the body's response to glucose.

Try Fermented Accompaniments

Include a small serving of fermented foods like kimchi or sauerkraut with your meal, as these can support gut health and lower glucose spikes.

Regular Meal Timing

Maintain a consistent meal schedule to help regulate blood sugar levels.
