How to consume Rice and rasam without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of rice to limit the amount of carbohydrates consumed. Smaller portions can help manage the glucose response.

Include High-Fiber Foods

Add vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or cauliflower to your meal. These foods are high in fiber and can help slow the absorption of glucose.

Add Protein

Incorporate lean protein sources such as grilled chicken, tofu, or lentils. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels by slowing the digestion process.

Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or seeds in your meal. Fats can slow the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates, reducing spikes.

Eat Slowly

Chew your food thoroughly and take time to eat. Eating slowly can help your body respond better to the carbohydrates you consume.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated can assist in maintaining stable blood glucose levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light exercise like a short walk after eating. Physical activity can help lower blood sugar levels by promoting the uptake of glucose by muscles.

Vinegar Addition

Consider adding a small amount of vinegar to your meal or having a salad with vinegar-based dressing. Vinegar can help reduce the rate at which your stomach empties, leading to a more gradual rise in blood sugar.

Mixed Meals

Mix your rice with legumes like chickpeas or lentils to create a balanced meal that includes slower-digesting carbohydrates.

Meal Timing

Spread out your carbohydrate intake throughout the day instead of consuming a large portion at once. This can help prevent significant spikes in glucose levels.
