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

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the coconut chutney, medu vada, idli, and sambar you consume. Smaller portions can lead to a more gradual increase in blood sugar levels.

Increase Fiber Intake

Add high-fiber foods to your meal. Consider incorporating vegetables or a mixed salad with your meal to slow down the absorption of sugars.

Protein Addition

Include a source of protein, such as boiled eggs or a serving of paneer, to help stabilize blood sugar levels by slowing digestion.

Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats like a small amount of nuts or seeds (e.g., almonds or flaxseeds) to your meal to help moderate the rise in blood sugar.

Pre-Meal Hydration

Drink a glass of water before your meal. This can help in reducing the post-meal blood sugar spike.

Timing of Meal

Try to have your meal at regular intervals and avoid consuming it on an empty stomach, which can lead to a quicker rise in blood sugar.

Exercise Post-Meal

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after your meal to help your body use up the glucose more efficiently.

Gradual Chewing

Eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly. This can aid in better digestion and a slower release of glucose into the bloodstream.

Alternative Ingredients

Consider using alternatives such as whole grain or millets for idli and vada, as they may have a lower impact on blood sugar levels compared to traditional ingredients.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of your blood sugar levels after meals to identify which specific foods cause larger spikes, and adjust your intake accordingly.
