How to consume chai, english vada pav without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of chai and vada pav. Smaller portions can lead to a more gradual increase in blood sugar levels.

Eat with Fiber

Include a side of vegetables or a small salad with your meal. Foods high in fiber, like leafy greens, can slow down the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream.

Protein Pairing

Add a source of protein, such as a boiled egg or a few nuts, to your meal. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels by slowing the digestion process.

Choose Whole Grains

If possible, opt for whole grain or multigrain bread for the pav instead of refined white bread. Whole grains have a more gradual effect on blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before eating. Staying hydrated can help regulate blood sugar levels.

Use Sugar Alternatives

When preparing chai at home, consider using a natural sweetener in place of sugar to reduce the impact on your blood sugar.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fat, such as avocado or a few olives, to your meal. Healthy fats help to slow digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.

Try Herbal Teas

Swap out traditional chai for an herbal tea that doesn’t require milk or sugar, thus reducing potential spikes.

Spread Out Carbs

If you enjoy chai multiple times a day, try spreading out your carbohydrate intake to avoid sudden spikes.

Exercise Regularly

Incorporate a physical activity routine. Even a short walk after your meal can help lower blood sugar levels more quickly.
