How to consume Idli, Sambar without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of idli and sambar to minimize the carbohydrate load. Consuming smaller amounts helps in preventing large spikes.

Increase Fiber Intake

Incorporate high-fiber vegetables like spinach or broccoli in your meal. Fiber slows down digestion and reduces glucose spikes.

Add Protein

Include protein sources like boiled eggs or cottage cheese with your meal. Protein helps stabilize blood sugar levels by slowing down carbohydrate absorption.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats, such as a handful of almonds or a few slices of avocado. Fats can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates, reducing spikes.

Stay Hydrated

Drink enough water throughout the day. Proper hydration can help your body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

Monitor Timing

Avoid consuming idli and sambar on an empty stomach. Eating a small salad or a plate of mixed nuts before your main meal can help moderate blood sugar responses.

Physical Activity

Take a short walk or engage in light physical activity after meals. Physical activity can help muscles use glucose more efficiently, reducing blood sugar spikes.

Slow Eating

Eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly. This can improve digestion and give your body more time to process carbohydrates.

Add Lemon Juice

Squeeze some lemon juice over your meal. The acidity can help lower the impact of carbohydrates on your blood sugar.

Monitor Meal Composition

Keep track of how different combinations of foods affect your blood sugar, and adjust your meal composition accordingly.
