How to consume Coconut Chutney, Rice Idli, Sambhar without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Reduce the portion size of the rice idli you consume. You could try half portions to minimize the glucose spike while still enjoying your meal.
Pair with Protein
Add a source of protein such as boiled eggs or a small amount of paneer alongside your meal. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Include Fiber-Rich Foods
Incorporate a side of mixed vegetables or a salad to your meal. Vegetables like spinach, kale, or broccoli can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Use Lentil-Based Idlis
Replace some or all of the rice in your idli batter with lentils or chickpeas to reduce the impact on blood sugar.
Add Healthy Fats
Include a small portion of nuts or seeds, such as almonds or chia seeds, in your meal. Healthy fats can help slow digestion and reduce glucose spikes.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to help regulate blood sugar levels.
Slow Your Eating Pace
Chew your food thoroughly and eat slowly to give your body more time to process the carbohydrates.
Use Whole Grains
If possible, make idlis with whole grains, such as millet or quinoa, instead of refined rice to have a lesser impact on blood glucose levels.
Exercise Post-Meal
A short walk or light physical activity after your meal can help lower blood sugar levels by promoting glucose uptake by muscles.
Monitor Ingredients in Chutney
Ensure that your coconut chutney does not contain added sugars or excessive amounts of coconut, as both can contribute to spikes. Opt for a version with more herbs and spices instead.
