How to consume Ragi idly without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Start by reducing the portion size of Ragi idly to minimize the glucose spike. Smaller amounts of carbohydrates can lead to a lesser rise in blood sugar levels.
Increase Fiber Intake
Pair Ragi idly with high-fiber foods like leafy greens, spinach, or a side salad. Adding fiber helps slow down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.
Include Protein
Add a source of protein such as boiled eggs, paneer, or a small serving of dal alongside your Ragi idly. Protein can help moderate blood sugar levels.
Healthy Fats Addition
Incorporate healthy fats like a small serving of avocado, nuts, or a drizzle of olive oil in your meal. Fats can help slow carbohydrate absorption.
Fermentation Time
Ensure that your Ragi idly batter is well-fermented. Fermentation can reduce the impact of carbohydrates on blood sugar levels.
Stay Hydrated
Drink a glass of water before your meal. Proper hydration aids in digestion and can help manage glucose spikes.
Use Whole Grains
If possible, blend Ragi with other whole grains like barley or quinoa in the idly batter. These grains can provide additional nutrients and help control blood sugar.
Regular Monitoring
Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after meals to understand how your body responds, and adjust your diet accordingly.
Mindful Eating
Eat slowly and savor each bite to give your body time to process the food, which may help in controlling blood sugar levels.
Exercise Regularly
Incorporate regular physical activity like a brisk walk after meals to help your body utilize glucose more efficiently.
