How to consume Chana without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of chana you consume. Smaller portions are less likely to cause significant glucose spikes.

Pair with Protein

Combine chana with a good source of protein like grilled chicken, tofu, or lentils. Protein can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Add Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats such as avocado, nuts, or olive oil in your meal. Fats can slow the absorption of carbohydrates, leading to a steadier glucose response.

Include Fibrous Vegetables

Add non-starchy vegetables like spinach, kale, or bell peppers to your meal. The fiber content can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Opt for Whole Chana

If you’re not already doing so, choose whole chana instead of processed forms. Whole foods usually digest more slowly, reducing the risk of spikes.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Proper hydration aids in maintaining stable blood sugar levels.

Regular Physical Activity

Engage in regular exercise, such as walking or cycling, which can help your body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully to give your body time to process the food and avoid rapid spikes in blood sugar.

Monitor Timing of Meals

Consider consuming your chana meal earlier in the day when your body might be better at processing glucose.

Herbal Teas

Drink herbal teas like chamomile or green tea with your meal, as they may support blood sugar control.
