How to consume cooked mung beans, chapati without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the serving size of cooked mung beans and chapati to minimize the impact on your blood glucose levels.

Add Protein and Healthy Fats

Include a source of protein, such as grilled chicken or tofu, and healthy fats like avocado or a handful of nuts, with your meal. These additions can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate Fiber-rich Vegetables

Add non-starchy vegetables like spinach, kale, or broccoli to your meal. These can help moderate blood sugar spikes due to their high fiber content.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day and with your meals to help your body process carbohydrates more effectively.

Balanced Meal Timing

Spread your food intake throughout the day by having smaller, more frequent meals, rather than large meals. This approach helps manage blood sugar levels better.

Monitor Meal Composition

Ensure that each meal includes a balance of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats to maintain steady energy levels and better blood sugar control.

Engage in Light Physical Activity

Take a short walk or engage in light exercise after meals to help lower blood sugar levels by enhancing insulin sensitivity.

Choose Whole Grain Alternatives

If possible, use whole-grain flour for making chapati, or opt for whole grain alternatives to reduce the impact on blood glucose.

Mindful Eating Practices

Eat slowly and mindfully to improve digestion and prevent overeating, thus stabilizing blood sugar levels.

Regular Monitoring

Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after meals to understand how specific food combinations affect you, and adjust accordingly.
