How to consume south indian/tamil - appam without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Include a side of protein-rich foods like boiled eggs, paneer (Indian cottage cheese), or grilled chicken to help moderate your blood sugar levels.
Add Fiber
Incorporate fiber-rich vegetables such as spinach, bell peppers, or broccoli into your meals. You can add these to your appam batter or enjoy them as a side dish to slow the release of glucose.
Include Healthy Fats
Use a small amount of healthy fats like avocado or nuts (such as almonds or walnuts) to complement your meal. These fats can help stabilize blood sugar fluctuations.
Portion Control
Eat smaller portions of appam to reduce the overall carbohydrate load. Consider having just one appam with additional sides to fill your meal.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Proper hydration can aid in better glucose metabolism.
Increase Physical Activity
Incorporate light exercise, such as a short walk after meals, to help your body manage glucose levels more effectively.
Choose Whole Grains
If possible, make or choose appams made from whole grain ingredients or mixed grains, which can have a slower impact on blood sugar.
Eat Slowly
Take time to chew your food thoroughly and eat slowly, which can help with better digestion and slower absorption of sugars.
Balance with Yogurt
Have a serving of plain, unsweetened yogurt on the side. Yogurt contains probiotics and proteins that may help moderate blood glucose levels.
Monitor Your Response
Keep track of your blood sugar levels to understand how your body responds to different foods, adjusting your dietary choices as needed for optimal glucose control.
