How to consume banana | dosa without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Incorporate a source of protein or healthy fats with your meal, such as adding a side of Greek yogurt, nuts, or avocado. This can help slow down the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream.

Add Fiber

Increase your meal's fiber content by including foods like chia seeds, flaxseeds, or a side of vegetables such as leafy greens, broccoli, or asparagus. Fiber slows digestion and can help mitigate spikes.

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of high-carb foods like banana and dosa to minimize the spike. Opt for half a banana or a smaller serving of dosa.

Choose Whole Grains

If making dosa, consider using ingredients like whole wheat flour or adding lentils to increase the fiber and nutrient content.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated can help regulate blood sugar levels.

Add a Vinegar-Based Dressing

Consider having a small salad with a vinegar-based dressing before your meal. The acetic acid in vinegar can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Engage in Light Physical Activity

Take a short walk or engage in light exercise after your meal to help your muscles use up some of the glucose from your bloodstream.

Monitor Meal Timing

Eat smaller, balanced meals more frequently instead of large meals with long gaps in between. This can help maintain steady blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully, paying attention to hunger and fullness cues to prevent overeating.

Plan and Balance Meals

Ensure overall meal balance by including a variety of nutrients, and try to avoid consuming too many high-carbohydrate foods at once.
