How to consume Coconut Chutney, Rice Idli, Sambhar without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the quantity of coconut chutney and rice idli you consume in one sitting to reduce the overall carbohydrate intake.

Combine with Protein

Include a source of protein, such as a boiled egg or a small serving of paneer, in your meal to help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Add Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Incorporate fiber-rich vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers into your sambhar to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Opt for Whole Grains

If possible, substitute regular rice idli with idli made from whole grains or millets, which are absorbed more slowly.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal to aid in digestion and help manage blood sugar levels.

Eat Mindfully

Practice mindful eating by chewing slowly and savoring each bite, which can help in better digestion and glucose management.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats, such as a few almonds or a teaspoon of olive oil in your chutney, to help slow carbohydrate absorption.

Monitor Your Blood Sugar

Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after meals to understand how different foods affect your glucose levels and adjust your diet accordingly.

Physical Activity

Engage in a short walk or light physical activity after your meal to help your body utilize glucose more effectively.

Regular Meal Timing

Maintain a regular eating schedule to help manage your blood sugar levels more consistently throughout the day.
