How to consume chutney, english medu vada, idli, sambar without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the amount of chutney and medu vada you consume. Smaller portions can help manage glucose levels better.

Add Protein

Include a source of protein like boiled eggs or a side of grilled chicken. Protein can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate Fiber

Add a side of steamed or lightly sautéed vegetables such as spinach or broccoli. Fiber helps in reducing the absorption rate of carbohydrates.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before or with your meal. Proper hydration can help regulate blood sugar levels.

Slow Eating

Eat your meal slowly and chew thoroughly. This allows your body to process food more efficiently and can help in stabilizing blood sugar.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a small serving of avocado or a handful of nuts like almonds or walnuts to your meal. Healthy fats can help in moderating blood sugar spikes.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after your meal. This can help your body use glucose more effectively.

Choose Whole Grains

If possible, opt for whole-grain versions of idli or dosa, which have more fiber and nutrients.

Limit Sambar

If sambar contains high-carb vegetables like potatoes or is overly spicy, it might increase the glucose spike. Opt for sambar with low-carb veggies like drumsticks or pumpkin.

Consider a Vinegar Preload

Consuming a small amount of vinegar diluted in water before your meal might help reduce blood sugar spikes.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of how different foods affect your glucose levels and adjust your meals accordingly. Personalizing your diet can lead to better glucose management.

Use Cinnamon

Sprinkle a bit of cinnamon on your chutney or mix it into your meal, as it might help in improving insulin sensitivity.
