How to consume Rice Idli, Sambhar without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of rice idli and sambhar. Smaller portions can help in managing glucose levels better.

Add Protein

Include a source of protein with your meal, such as a boiled egg or a serving of Greek yogurt. Protein helps slow down the absorption of carbohydrates, which can help prevent spikes.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats, such as a tablespoon of avocado or a sprinkle of chia seeds. Healthy fats can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Increase Fiber Intake

Pair your meal with a side of high-fiber vegetables like spinach, kale, or broccoli. Fiber helps slow down digestion and the release of glucose into the bloodstream.

Opt for Whole Grains

If possible, substitute some of the white rice in the idli with whole grains like quinoa or oats to increase the fiber content.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated can assist with digestion and the processing of carbohydrates.

Monitor Meal Timing

Try to eat your meals at consistent times each day, and avoid long gaps between meals which can lead to overeating and spikes.

Engage in Light Activity

Take a short walk or engage in light physical activity after eating. Physical activity can help lower blood sugar levels by increasing insulin sensitivity.

Chew Slowly

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

Include a Vinegar Dressing

Adding a vinegar-based salad dressing to your meal can help lower the impact of the carbohydrates by enhancing insulin sensitivity.
