How to consume Idli | Tea without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Limit the number of idlis you consume in one sitting. Reducing portion size can help manage post-meal glucose levels.
Protein Addition
Pair your idli with a source of protein, such as a boiled egg or some cottage cheese. This can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Fiber Boost
Include fiber-rich foods like a side of steamed vegetables or a salad with your meal. This can help moderate glucose spikes.
Healthy Fats
Add a small amount of healthy fats, such as a teaspoon of olive oil or a few nuts, to your meal. This can help slow digestion and absorption.
Alternative Grains
Consider using alternative grains to make idlis, such as incorporating some millet or oats, which may be less likely to cause a spike.
Tea Modifications
Opt for unsweetened tea or use a natural sweetener like stevia instead of sugar.
Pre-Meal Exercise
Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, before your meal to help improve insulin sensitivity.
Post-Meal Activity
Take a short walk after eating to help your body use up some of the glucose in your bloodstream.
Hydration
Ensure you are well-hydrated as dehydration can worsen blood sugar levels.
Regular Monitoring
Keep track of your blood glucose levels regularly to understand how different foods affect you and make adjustments accordingly.
