How to consume cooked rice, english chana dal without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Reduce the portion size of cooked rice and chana dal you consume. Smaller portions can lead to a more gradual release of glucose into the bloodstream.
Add Non-Starchy Vegetables
Incorporate a variety of non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers into your meals. These can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Include Healthy Fats
Add a source of healthy fats like avocados, nuts, or olive oil to your meals. Fats can help moderate blood sugar levels by slowing the digestion process.
Incorporate Protein
Combine your rice and chana dal with a lean protein source such as chicken, tofu, or fish. Protein helps stabilize blood sugar by slowing the absorption of carbohydrates.
Choose Whole Grains
If possible, replace white rice with whole grain options such as brown rice or quinoa, which can have a less pronounced impact on blood sugar levels.
Cook Rice Al Dente
Avoid overcooking rice. Preparing it al dente can reduce the rate at which it affects blood sugar levels.
Try Vinegar
Add a splash of vinegar, such as apple cider or balsamic, to your dish. Acids in vinegar can help lower post-meal blood sugar spikes.
Snacking Strategy
If rice and chana dal are consumed as part of a main meal, consider having a small, balanced snack such as yogurt with seeds or a small portion of nuts 30 minutes prior to help stabilize blood sugar.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water throughout the day, as proper hydration can support healthy blood sugar management.
Physical Activity
Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after meals to help your body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.
