How to consume Full salad with chenna without glucose spikes

Include More Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Add leafy greens such as spinach and kale, as well as non-starchy vegetables like bell peppers and cucumbers to your salad, as they help slow down digestion and sugar absorption.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add avocados, nuts, or seeds like flaxseeds and chia seeds to your salad. These healthy fats can help moderate glucose spikes by slowing the absorption of carbohydrates.

Choose the Right Dressing

Opt for dressings that are vinegar or olive oil-based instead of creamy dressings, which can contribute to glucose spikes. Apple cider vinegar is a great choice for its potential blood sugar-regulating properties.

Add Protein Sources

Include lean protein sources such as grilled chicken, boiled eggs, or tofu. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels and keep you fuller for longer.

Monitor Portion Sizes of Chenna

While chenna is a good source of protein, consuming it in moderation is key. Consider balancing its portion with other low-impact ingredients like vegetables and proteins.

Incorporate Whole Grains

If you want to add grains to your salad, go for small portions of quinoa or barley. These are better choices that help maintain steady blood glucose levels.

Mind the Meal Timing

Spread your meals throughout the day and avoid having a large salad portion in one sitting. Smaller, more frequent meals can help prevent spikes.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal. Adequate hydration can help your body process sugars more efficiently.

Exercise Regularly

Engage in light physical activity such as walking after meals. This can help your muscles use the glucose more effectively, reducing spikes.

Manage Stress

Practice stress-reduction techniques such as meditation, deep breathing, or yoga, as stress can affect your body's ability to regulate blood sugar effectively.
