How to consume Dosa, Upma without glucose spikes

Incorporate Protein

Add a side of yogurt or cottage cheese with your meal. The protein can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates, which may help in reducing the spike.

Add Fiber

Include a serving of vegetables such as spinach, bell peppers, or tomatoes. Fiber-rich foods can help moderate blood sugar levels by slowing digestion.

Hydration

Drink a glass of water infused with lemon before eating. Staying hydrated can support overall metabolic processes and may assist in stabilizing blood sugar levels.

Smaller Portions

Consider reducing the portion size of dosa or upma. Smaller portions mean a smaller amount of carbohydrates at one time, which can help in decreasing blood sugar spikes.

Balanced Plate

Ensure that your meal includes a balance of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Adding a handful of nuts or seeds like almonds or flaxseeds can provide healthy fats that help in slowing down digestion.

Pre-Meal Exercise

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, before meals. Physical activity can increase insulin sensitivity and help your muscles use glucose more effectively.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly. This practice can prevent overeating and improve digestion, which may help in maintaining stable glucose levels.

Cinnamon Add-Ons

Sprinkle cinnamon on your meal or include it in a side dish. Some studies suggest that cinnamon can have a positive effect on blood sugar levels.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of how your body responds to different combinations of foods and adjust your meal accordingly. Individual responses can vary, so personal monitoring can be beneficial.
