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

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of each item consumed. Instead of having a large serving of coconut chutney, medu vada, idli, and sambar, opt for smaller portions to minimize the glucose spike.

Increase Fiber Intake

Pair your meal with high-fiber foods such as green leafy salads or steamed vegetables. Fiber can help slow digestion and the absorption of sugars.

Choose Whole Grains

If possible, substitute regular idli with whole grain or millet-based idli to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Add Protein

Incorporate a source of protein into your meal. Consider adding a side of plain yogurt or a small portion of grilled chicken or tofu to help stabilize your blood sugar levels.

Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats such as a small serving of nuts or a drizzle of olive oil on your salad. Healthy fats can help reduce the rate of carbohydrate absorption.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout your meal to help in digestion and regulate blood sugar levels effectively.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after your meal to help your body use some of the glucose from your bloodstream.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to enhance digestion and give your body more time to process the sugars gradually.

Monitor Ingredients

Check the ingredients of your coconut chutney and sambar. Avoid added sugars and use natural ingredients to keep the meal healthier.

Regular Monitoring

Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after meals to understand which specific food items affect you the most and adjust your diet accordingly.
