How to consume Rice Idli, Sambar without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of rice idli and sambar to minimize the carbohydrates intake, which can help in managing glucose levels.

Incorporate Fiber

Add fiber-rich vegetables like spinach, carrots, or peas to your sambar, which can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates and help in stabilizing blood sugar levels.

Protein Addition

Include a source of protein, such as a boiled egg or grilled chicken, in your meal to help balance the effect of carbohydrates on your blood sugar.

Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats, like a spoonful of ground flaxseeds or a few slices of avocado, to your meal to enhance satiety and slow down carbohydrate absorption.

Pre-meal Snack

Consume a handful of almonds or walnuts about 30 minutes before your meal. This can help in moderating blood sugar spikes by providing healthy fats and proteins.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water or herbal tea alongside your meal to aid in digestion and help prevent rapid glucose spikes.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after your meal to help with glucose metabolism and reduce post-meal blood sugar spikes.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully to give your body time to process the food and better regulate blood sugar levels.

Balanced Meal Composition

Pair your idli and sambar with a side of non-starchy vegetables like a cucumber or tomato salad to increase the nutritional value of your meal.

Recipe Modification

Experiment with making idlis using alternative flours like moong dal or chickpea flour, which have a more balanced effect on blood sugar when compared to rice.
