How to consume Idli, Sambar, Tea With Milk And Sugar without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of Idli and Sambar. Consider having one or two idlis instead of three or more.

Fiber Addition

Incorporate a side of fresh vegetables or a small salad with your meal. Foods like cucumber, tomatoes, or leafy greens can help slow down glucose absorption.

Protein Inclusion

Add a source of protein to your meal. A small portion of paneer or a hard-boiled egg can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Change in Preparation

Opt for steaming the idlis instead of frying them, and reduce the oil in the sambar.

Tea Modification

When preparing tea, reduce the amount of sugar or switch to a natural sweetener like stevia. Consider using low-fat milk or a milk alternative such as almond milk.

Timing

Try to have your meal at a consistent time daily, allowing your body to anticipate and prepare for a glucose intake.

Stay Active

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after your meal to help with glucose metabolism.

Hydration

Drink a glass of water before your meal. This can help with digestion and control hunger, potentially reducing the rapid intake of food.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly. This practice can help your body better manage blood sugar by improving digestion and allowing your brain to recognize when you are full.

Regular Monitoring

Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after meals to understand how your body reacts and make necessary adjustments.
